Political Activism
 I have been actively involved in both State and National lobbying for improved access to care, loan forgiveness programs to allow students to financially afford practicing in underserved communities after medical school, and reimbursement reform. This was a large factor in where I chose my residency program, as Grand Junction was discovered by the NEJM to provide the lowest cost with highest quality of medical care.
Global Partners Medical Mission
04/2009
 Global Partners is the mission arm of the Wesleyan Church. With their assistance, I organized and led a medical mission team to La Gonave, Haiti. This leadership involved fundraising, acquiring medications, assembling a team of students and physicians, arranging emergency medical evacuation back to America, and coordinating housing, transportation, and medical outreaches to remote island villages and area orphanages.
Hope for the Nations and Reach International Medical Missions
08/2008 (MS2), 8/2010 (MS3), 11/2012 (PGY2)

Hope for the Nations is a faith-based organization devoted to transforming the lives of vulnerable children throughout the world. Reach International is also a faith based organization with the goal of not only providing medical relief to remote and underserved
Filipino communities but also to teach them how to be self-empowered for their own health care. Through these organizations, I have been part of or led medical teams on the Island of
Mindanao in the Philippines as both a medical student and a resident. On the most recent trip,
Hurricane Pablo devastated an area just north of Davao City. Under the direction of the senior physician, I was placed in charge of a team of nurses, paramedics, and nurse midwives to provide relief care for New Bataan in Compostela Valley. Over the course of several days, treated hundreds of patients either injured by the storm or ill from the poor conditions in the aftermath.
