Why did you join the National Health Corps New York AmeriCorps program?   

I joined NHC because my undergraduate studies and volunteering introduced me to the great need in healthcare to address health disparities in underserved communities. I wanted to be part of a community dedicated to a mission of putting patients first so that they can possess the health autonomy they need and deserve. I believe NHC will teach me how to better serve and advocate for this population of people as a future physician, while also allowing me to meet others in the field with similar passions.  

A fun fact about me:   

I played saxophone in the largest marching band in America (over 750 people!)

Being able to witness the positive impact Sun River Health services have on patients in need.
