Passionate About:

I love traveling to different places and experiencing new cultures. I've traveled to several different countries before , but I have never had the opportunity to volunteer while visiting these countries. My career goal is to become a physicians assistant so a medical brigade would be the perfect opportunity for me to get hands on experience. When I become a physicians assistant I would love to continue traveling the world while providing medical care.
