Where are you from?

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

More knowledge on how to support pregnant women beyond their medical needs. 

 

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

Learning as much as I can through my host site and through NHC, and enjoying my time living in Florida.
