Liam is a second-year majoring in HPA with minors in Biology and Economics. In terms of career goals, he aspires to be a physician, but his main research interests are in health economics. Global Medical Brigades has been a fantastic way for Liam to help the local community, gain exposure to the state of healthcare abroad, and connect with awesome, like-minded people!

As a Latina on the pre medicine track with a strong desire to make a global impact, Marianna has found her niche through GB. Her involvement with the medical chapter and its recent brigade to Honduras has provided her with one of the greatest learning experiences of her life. Shadowing local doctors allowed her to expand her global lens and witness firsthand what it truly means to be a compassionate and empowering healthcare professional. The GB mission, culture, and experience is something she is extremely grateful to be a part of and will continue to lean on as she continues her life’s journey.
