Favorite GMT memory: My favorite GMT memory was my first patient I ever treated in Panama. After we helped him, he gave us a handmade beaded necklace to thank us. It hangs above my desk now to remind me why I love medicine :)
Why did you join GMT: I joined GMT because I love the community and how inclusive it is of all health pathways. Being Pre-PA, I've loved the mentorship aspect of GMT as well as getting to surround myself with people who are all pursuing different goals, but all have the same passion for helping others. After going on a trip, I love the community even more because I got the chance to meet amazing people and I love getting to see them at all of our events!
