Something that I have found interesting in my summer experience is the relationship between emergency planning and the student demographic. When emergency planners consider a population, they look at the populations by demographics. This causes categories of people to be treated as one group for simplicity’s sake. Elderly are a high focus demographic, along withContinue reading “Is it “Everyone” or “Everyone you like”?”

Solidarity at Horizons at Norwood
Within the Horizons community at Norwood, “solidarity” is seen as us (the volunteers, teachers, site directors, teacher assistants, and program assistant) providing the students with a safe place to spend their summer while also improving on their academic skills.

Stories in the Media
The stories I mostly hear in the media relate to the Supreme Court ruling on Roe vs. Wade. This ruling changed so many people’s lives as it limited women’s access to abortions based on their state and how far they are in their pregnancy. While the states have some leverage regarding this ruling, many womenContinue reading “Stories in the Media”
Farewell to my project
Though I am still continuing and in the last few pieces of my project before sitting down to take my national registry exam for my EMT license, I am so grateful for this experience. I have learned more knowledge to not only apply to my medical career but also to my everyday life. Preparing forContinue reading “Farewell to my project”
My Space at Work
If I were to create a map of the spaces I typically inhabit on a daily basis, I would have to start with the medical office I work in Monday-Friday. The team I work with, we have our own pod which is made up of each of our workspaces and computers. Beyond that, there areContinue reading “My Space at Work”

In medicine there a very personal side, I think a lot of doctors lack, where you have to be more universally educated in the many cultures you come across andContinue reading “The many cultures of medicine”
A Recent Media Story and a Summary of my CapStone
One story that I think should be widely shared is that the US Senate is on the cusp of passing the Recovering America’s Wildlife Act or RAWA, which is a bill that would provide close to $1.4 billion a year for restoring wildlife populations across the country. I saw this story in the news afterContinue reading “A Recent Media Story and a Summary of my CapStone”
Farewell to my Experience
My experience this past summer is one that I will reflect on as a formative experience in my academic, personal, and professional development. The opportunity to live in another country and authentically interact with the local community is valuable in many ways. I was able to experience the milestone of moving to a new cityContinue reading “Farewell to my Experience”
A Story that Resonates with Me
A Story that Resonates with me: Recently, I came across a new story on the Ukrainian crisis in the news. This Summer, I worked at the International Rescue Committee and happened to organize many of the efforts related to Ukraine at the office. I worked closely with IRC Tallahassee’s one and only Ukrainian client andContinue reading “A Story that Resonates with Me”
Farewell
I just finished EMT school a few days ago and it feels bitter-sweet. I am excited to work, but I am going to miss the community my class has developed. Currently, I am in the process of registering for the national registry EMT exam to obtain Florida licensure. Personally, I feel that EMT school hasContinue reading “Farewell”
