I have deepened my understanding of the healthcare system which has made me more passionate about going to [medical] school. I have had a lot of very meaningful interactions with patients which has allowed me to deepen my understanding of how I react in different situations.

As we empower youth, it empowers the entire community. Youth need to know that there are people who believe in them. This helps the future of the community and brings greater unity.

I am most excited about gaining hands-on experience that complements my nursing education. AmeriCorps allows me to apply classroom concepts—like communication, health promotion, and cultural sensitivity—in real-world situations.
