Passionate About:

Greetings,

My name is Jacob A. Thomas and I am a junior at Fisk University. I currently major in psychology with a concentration in pre-med as I have strong aspirations to become a pediatric psychiatrist. I am currently serving as an intern for the Fisk University Chapter of Volunteers Around The World (VAW). I am strongly passionate about providing quality healthcare to patients in the future and tackling health care disparities that disproportionately affect people of color. The outreach trip to Guatemala will help me become one step closer to reaching my dream career and also provide me the opportunity to make a change in the world currently.
