• University of Louisville Hospital (June 2022-July 2022)- Here, I worked alongside Dr. Franklin and Dr. Weeks from June-July. As an aspiring gynecologist, I was honored to have been supervised by these two individuals as I learned.
• Clinica Merida (Januray 2023-February 2023)- The winter of my junior year of college, I had the privilege to study abroad in Merida, Mexico. I shadowed at Clinica Merida under Dr. Abril, a general physician, Dr. Navarro, a gynecologist, and DR. Correa. Here, I learned about common diseases in American as well as learned from preventive treatments such as vaccinations to restorative surgeries – and gain an invaluable understanding of its true value in shaping peoples' lives for the better. I practiced sutures, observed rhinoplasties, liposuctions, and other reconstructive surgeries in infants.

• Girls Flow Free (July 2020-current member)- Girls Flow Free is a non-profit organization in Ghana for lower class female identifying individuals to have access to sanitary resources for menstruation. This was very close to me as I call Ghana home. I worked alongside my Aunt as we traveled to the underdeveloped villages to gift things like sanitary pads, tampons, and other products for free. This allows for the females to go to school, work, and live freely. Especially as a woman of color who would one day like to study reproductive health among women, I found this to be an extremely fulfilling opportunity. I wanted these young women to feel capable of achieving their dreams, regardless of the barriers in their ways.
• Louisville Catholic Charities (July 2020-July 2022)- In louisville, there is a large refugee crisis. I have many family friends that were helped through the Catholic Charities, and would not have been able to make a living in the United states without the support they've provided immigrants. Here, I was privileged enough to work alongside my mother who is an immigration lawyer to see what goes on behind the scenes. I worked in the Child care unit where families would drop their kids off for free while they were on the job search in downtown Louisville.
