Why did you join GMT? I joined GMT because I wanted to make a difference abroad, but also in my local community. GMT offers so many local volunteer events, with many aimed at helping underserved communities throughout Austin. With my SE Asian heritage, I have also seen firsthand the medical disparities experienced by my extended family abroad. I have always wanted to do something about it. After two eye-opening trips to Panama and Peru with GMT, I have gotten to fully experience what it is like to participate in global medicine, while also making a tangible difference in those communities. I have learned so much from GMT and I am excited to share it with y’all this next year!
