A New Community
At the UHI clinic, a majority of the people I have met working and volunteering have been hispanic. We live in a predominantly hispanic community, so this is important to be able to communicate with a large portion of the patients. Even though I am hispanic, I do feel like I have joined a newContinue reading “A New Community”
Solidarity in Healthcare
From what I have experienced this summer, solidarity in the healthcare and medical community looks like communication and trust.

Patients must be fully honest about what they areContinue reading “Solidarity in Healthcare”

Researching and advocating for affordable textbooks highlighted the complex challenges students face and the power ofContinue reading “A Farewell to my Fellowship”
Onto the Second Half!
This past week has been so mentally draining and extremely busy for me, that is why I have been so MIA! I just completed my finals for my Organic Chemistry 2 and Physics 1 class and I am so happy to be done with classes and have a nice mental health restart! However, I finallyContinue reading “Onto the Second Half!”
Farewell
A photo from my first day in Mumbai, the financial capital of India, basically the NYC of India. It is also called the City of Dreams because a lot of artists shift to this city to look for work, as it is home to Bollywood. This picture reminded me of how I felt like a tourist in my own country during this project.
