Passionate About:

Out of all the many things I am incredibly passionate about, service is by far one of my favorites. Global Brigades is perfect for me because it combines my love for travel with my interest in other languages, cultures, and service opportunities. I was fortunate enough to be a part of the founding group at the University of Utah last year, and traveled to Guaricayan, Honduras to serve the people of a rural village in their business endeavors. This year, I plan on attending another service opportunity in Panama. I feel as though this area is my niche in that, I am able to use my background in Spanish speaking, business, and interpersonal relations to really help people in a more sustainable way. I could never describe what these experiences mean to me, how they have enhanced my education, and how much I feel that I have been able to give back to these communities in need.
