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

Global Brigades offers 7-9 day Medical Brigades throughout the year in Honduras, Panama and Nicaragua. During a Medical Brigade, volunteers have the opportunity to take vitals and patient history in triage, shadow licensed doctors in medical consultations, and assist in a pharmacy under the direction of licensed pharmacists. Each of our partner communities receives a brigade approximately twice a year. Between brigades, our in-country team maintains relationships with the communities to provide follow-up and to conduct Community Health Worker (CHW) trainings to empower local leaders to sustain a consistent level of healthcare. Electronic patient records are collected for future visitations and to monitor overall community health trends.
