“There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.” -Nelson Mandela

Before I knew what a medical brigade was, I knew I wanted to go on one. During the first week of school I heard about the Global Medical Brigades and knew I had found exactly what I was looking for. In my application to Philadelphia University I wrote “I am not sure where in medicine I will end up, but I do know that I will be off somewhere in the world making a difference,” and this is what I truly intend on doing. Going to Nicaragua in May will encompass my three passions, education, medicine and caring for others. As a Physician Assistant Major in a five year BS/MS, this opportunity is surreal to me, and I cannot wait for this experience. Anyway you can help me get there, whether it is a donation or a simple prayer, means the world to me! Thank you!
