Passionate About:

Global Health has always been a large passion of mine. This year will mark the 10th year I have regularly traveled abroad for relief work. Some of the places I have traveled to include Mexico, Bahamas, Brazil, Russia, and Romania. Traveling has opened my eyes to the disparities which exist in other parts of the world, taught me to be both compassionate and proactive in getting involved, and encouraged me to pursue a career in medicine. In addition, I have used my experiences to help others reach this same goal by planning annual relief trips for pre-medical students at FAU. I hope to utilize my passion for humanitarian aid and a future training in medicine to impact others both locally and globally. Help me continue along this journey by supporting me in my travels to Nicaragua. Thank you!

Volunteer Activity Message

Global Brigades offers 7-9 day Medical Brigades throughout the year in Honduras, Panama and Nicaragua. During a Medical Brigade, volunteers have the opportunity to take vitals and patient history in triage, shadow licensed doctors in medical consultations, and assist in a pharmacy under the direction of licensed pharmacists. Each of our partner communities receives a brigade approximately twice a year. Between brigades, our in-country team maintains relationships with the communities to provide follow-up and to conduct Community Health Worker (CHW) trainings to empower local leaders to sustain a consistent level of healthcare. Electronic patient records are collected for future visitations and to monitor overall community health trends.
