Volunteer Experience

  • Corazon Clinic, Volunteer, 2012, 2014, As a volunteer at the Corazon Clinic, a Sunday morning clinic for homeless individuals, I conducted patient interviews, gathered medical histories, conducted routine physical examinations, provided counseling on care options and local resources, and even contributed to differential diagnoses and medication distribution through our makeshift pharmacy. This experience was pivotal in shaping my career path.
  • San Antonio AIDS Foundation, Volunteer, 2010, 2012, At the San Antonio AIDS Foundation, I volunteered by providing patient meals, companionship, and participating in facility renovation projects. This non-profit organization housed individuals profoundly affected by HIV infection, many of whom lacked family or caregivers. This volunteering experience instilled in me a profound empathy for those facing extreme adversity and deepened my understanding of the preventive dimensions of healthcare.
