Passionate About:

I'm passionate not only to help contribute to my local community but to underserved communities all around the world. Being a part of the Volunteers Around the World organization gives me the opportunity to travel to various countries to set up medical clinics for communities who normally don't have access to avid medical care. I hope to one day take my learnings and experience from these trips and apply them in the future in the medical field.
