I am passionate about living a life I can be proud of and have always used service as the vehicle to accomplish this. It has been my dream to become a physician and to be a well rounded provider in today\'s world it is important to expand my knowledge of global health and gain a first-hand experience of healthcare outside of the United States. Being a student at the University of Notre Dame is something I am proud of; representing Notre Dame and the Catholic community on this service trip will be a great honor, and a chance to learn first-hand from providers who are able to give their time to the people of Nicaragua and students of Notre Dame.
