I am a senior at Clemson University studying Public Health Science. I am very interested in community and rural health. Right now, I am working with the rural/ hispanic migrant farm worker community of Upstate SC. I have an internship with the Joseph F. Sullivan Center, and I am loving it. One day I hope to be a part of rural medicine and I would like to try and change how things are done, so to speak, for the better. I guess I just want to be a part of the movements towards cultural competency and community health.

I don't know that I am qualified to change the world, but I would like to change the environment that is around me. There is a process involved, ie lots of school, so I can;t do it as soon as I would like. But small steps are always the start. I just want to see health care treated as a human right rather than as a privilege, no matter your race, religion, hometown, legality, job, ect. I want doctors to be able to see patients as human beings and vice versa. A better connection, a relationship. I am also interested in bringing new technologies for efficiency to Central America for health care. And building a preventative health care regime as well...
