Undergraduate: Case Western Reserve University (2020)
About me: In 2017, I had the privilege of volunteering at an orphanage in Mexico as a medical intern. Every year that I returned, I became more passionate about developing the on-campus clinic and providing healthcare to children who have experienced severe sexual assault or abandonment. I witnessed how access to healthcare services could create a sense of trust and positivity for those who felt very vulnerable and distant. My long-term goals are to continue volunteering at this orphanage and expanding my passion to other international institutions. I am excited to work with the students and mentors in the World Medicine Pathway to achieve these goals and create long-lasting connections surrounding global health.
