 Women's Health Clinic
Volunteer
Cusco, Peru
Kyle will be working in various health clinics throughout Cusco, Peru,
focusing on women's health and reproductive health. Kyle's passion for
cross-cultural experiences and health-care work is evident in her past
experiences, including her leadership position in the Tucker Foundation's
"Nicaragua Cross-Cultural, Education and Service Program" and her volunteer
work in Guatemala. Though Kyle's primary goal is to aid the community with her
First Responder skills and her Spanish language proficiency, she sees her
fellowship as reciprocal: she expects that the experience will give her
invaluable exposure to direct healthcare and also the Peruvian culture and
community.
Kyle hopes to further incorporate this knowledge and experience into her
future goals, which include returning to Latin America for more service work
and eventually opening a public women's health care clinic. Kyle writes, I plan
to "pursue a medical degree and return to Latin America as a trained, devoted,
and compassionate doctor interested in providing clinical and public health
benefits to a family, a community, a region."
