Passionate About:

I am passionate about providing quality healthcare--ranging from opportunities for the under and uninsured to basic necessities like clean water and unpolluted air--in underprivileged areas. I am an English PreMed major, Poverty Studies minor at the University of Notre Dame. I plan to attend medical school and hope to work in East Los Angeles one day.
On a lighter note, I am also passionate about coffee, my maltipoo puppy, the west coast, and Notre Dame football.
Go Irish!

Volunteer Activity Message

Public Health volunteers spend 7 days improving basic home infrastructure and providing health education to help reduce the incidences of life-threatening, but preventable, diseases in a rural community. With an understanding of the holistic model that focuses on education, community health sustainability and infrastructural development, volunteers first receive a comprehensive introduction to the country's public health challenges and the Public Health programs ground-up solution. They will take a tour of the community Public Health is currently working in, introduce themselves to the beneficiary families, and meet with the Basic Sanitation Committee (CSB). Then, working side-by-side with community members and local masons, volunteers construct five infrastructure projects meant to improve the health of the home and surrounding environment: eco-stoves, latrines, showers, pilas (water storage units), and concrete floors. Additionally, as a key component of the program, volunteers collaborate with the Basic Sanitation Committee and local teachers to help provide community-wide education workshops and training, proliferating sanitation and hygiene practices and empowering families with both the knowledge and tools to live healthier lives.
