It would be my absolute pleasure to join the GEMA executive committee as a member-at-large. I am passionate about global health and have spent a considerable amount of time in the field volunteering, lecturing on the subject in various emergency departments and medical schools, and interfacing with global heath and humanitarian NGOs.
I have mostly worked in refugee health and conflict response, and would love to bring more of that perspective to the committee.

I believe the GEMA executive committee is primed to facilitating increased collaboration between medical education institutions to provide more opportunities and experiences to trainees. I believe this is the key to creating a pipeline of future leaders in global health, more research opportunities, and most importantly more successful and impactful projects.

Ultimately, I look to serve to the assembly and want to be a member that helps promote and contribute to growth, development, and sustainability. Most of my global health work has centered around the needs of supporting local healthcare workers via training, resources, or professional growth.
