Educational Background: Graduated from Oberlin College with a BA in Global Health Justice and a minor in Chemistry.

Philadelphia Health Corps Role: Refugee Health Associate at Lutheran Children & Family Services

Why did you join AmeriCorps/National Health Corps?  To be of utility to underserved communities and to learn how to truly appreciate, from a 'grassroots' perspective, the barriers to care that subpopulations such as refugees experience.

Where do you want to be in five years? What do you want to be doing?  In 5 years, I hope to be finishing up medical school and heading off for a residency in Social and Family Medicine. (and maybe helping start a cooperative, radical, community based clinic).

What is your favorite part of service?  Cute babies! (The worst part is watching them get shots though), and learning little bits of all sorts of languages--Arabic and Burmese and Nepali...

What is your favorite part of Philadelphia?  People watching on SEPTA
