Where are you from?

Originally from Midvale, UT, but spent the last four years in Tallahassee.
 

Why did you decide to join NHC?

I was looking for something to do over my gap year to medical school -- something that would do some good in the world. I already knew I wanted to move to Jacksonville, so when I found NHC it was perfect!

 

What are you hoping to gain or learn during your service term?

A greater understanding of the socioeconomic barriers facing my community, as well as the resources available to help them overcome those barriers. My ultimate goal is to practice in a free/low-cost clinic so my time with TPCCH has been very eye-opening. 

 

What are you most looking forward to during your service term? 

The opportunity to make life a little easier for the families I work with. Navigating the world of social services can be challenging as parent -- TPCCH has trained me to  be their advocate to help give children a healthier future.
