Passionate About:

I love being able to serve the world and reach out to communities desiring sustainable health. Everyone deserves access to healthcare, and I love that Global Brigades goes to medically untouched villages and towns to provide what would otherwise be mostly inaccessible. Being able to experience new cultures and do what I'm passionate about at the same time is such a blessing. Aside from learning and helping others, I love dancing, running, reading, music, and being with my family and friends! I hope that someday I'll be able to reach out to indigenous communities, or other medically underserved communities, as a physician/surgeon.

Thank you to anyone who has donated or will donate in the future. It's a blessing to say the least to have such supportive friends and family! Please pray and spread the word!

Volunteer Activity Message

Volunteers on the Medical and Dental Brigades will be working closely together to provide quality health initiatives to a community that otherwise has limited access to health care. Volunteers will spend three days in a community in order to optimize the amount of time patients are able to spend with the physicians and dentists. Each patient will receive a physician consultation, teeth cleaning and a fluoride treatment as well as have access to pap smears, prostate exams and restorative dental care as necessary. Volunteers will have the opportunity to take patient vitals, obtain patient history and current symptoms, shadow and assist licensed physicians and dentists, participate in preventative education, and fill prescriptions under a licensed pharmacist. Volunteers will become familiar with the prevalent health issues in their community and learn about how to prevent and treat those illnesses. These brigades provide each volunteer with the opportunity to make a tangible impact on a specific community while gaining real
