Hi everyone!

I’m so excited to finally share that after graduating from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign with my Bachelor's in Community Health — with concentrations in Health Promotion & Education and Health Planning & Administration — I’ll be heading to Costa Rica to volunteer with an organization called GIVE (Growth International Volunteer Excursions)!

GIVE works with local communities around the world to support sustainable development, and I’ll be spending my time helping to:

Build eco-friendly educational spaces

Support English education in schools

Get involved in wildlife and environmental conservation

This opportunity means so much to me — it's a chance to step outside my comfort zone, connect with a new culture, and put what I’ve learned into action in a really meaningful way.

Thank you to everyone who’s supported me throughout my college journey — I can’t wait to see where this next adventure leads!
