Favorite GMT memory: My favorite GMT memory has to be realizing my entire way of communicating with the kids in Peru was Italian Brainrot, and seeing how much genuine joy and laughter it brought them.
Why did you join GMT?: I joined GMT because I wanted to be involved in global health while also making an impact locally. GMT hosts so many volunteer events in Austin, many of which support underserved communities, and that really drew me in. Through traveling with GMT, I’ve gotten to see firsthand the differences in healthcare access around the world and how much a few dedicated people can make a difference. Those experiences have been eye-opening and motivating, and I’m excited to continue learning and giving back through GMT this year!
