Passionate About:

Helping others, and giving people the tools to live healthy, happy lives. I've seen disease take more than just a physical toll, but also an emotional one, and not only on the sick but also their family and friends. I've always been interested in medicine and how I can help someone not only with what ails them, but also coping with that disease. I've built a professional life around helping the sick and injured, and I think being able to do more, for more people, beyond my own current, small sphere of influence would be an excellent opportunity.

About Us

Kutztown University is a chapter of Global Medical Brigades, an international movement of students and medical professionals working alongside local communities and staff to implement sustainable health systems. We work in remote, rural, and under resourced communities in Honduras, Panama, Nicaragua and Ghana who would otherwise have limited to no access to health care. Each community receives a brigade every 3 to 4 months where hundreds of patients are provided access to healthcare and volunteers deliver public health workshops. Electronic patient records are collected for future visitations and to monitor overall community health trends. nnIn conjunction with our Medical Program, Global Brigades also supports communities with economic development, sanitation and clean water projects, and uniquely implements these programs in a holistic model to meet a community’s health and economic goals. Our model systematically builds community ownership and collaboratively executes programs with the end goal of sustainably evolving to a relationship of impact monitoring.
