Medical Brigades Vice President 2016-2018

I am a senior Biomedical Engineering and Economics dual degree from Charleston, West Virginia.

Out of everything I have ever been involved in, traveling with Global Brigades has by far been the most life-changing, humbling, fulfilling, and incredible experience. It has brought to light what is truly important, the beauty of medicine, and solidified my choice to pursue the medical field. My experiences in Global Brigades have been unforgettable. I can’t wait to make new memories, learn, and grow with this year's group as we prepare to head to Nicaragua once more.
