Hello, hello! My name is Tamra Hilantu and I am beyond excited to be apart of the 2019-2020 brigade to Sangkhlaburi as one of your Co-Medical Supply Leads! I am a native San Diegan and currently a Track 1 Sophomore. When I’m not studying, I like to read, dance, cook, and explore my own city. I look forward to increasing my cultural awareness and delivering care in an area that currently has limited access to healthcare and education. I am optimistic that this experience will add to my development as a nurse as I finally get put the skills I’m learning now into action!

Hi! My name is Tara King, and I’m a Track 2 sophomore. I am extremely excited and grateful to be a part of the 2019-2020 HEAL Brigade as a Co-Medical Supplies Lead.
When I was applying to the SDSU Nursing program, I heard about the HEAL trip, and knew immediately that it was something I wanted to be a part of. Helping people through compassionate and skilled medical care was one of the reasons why I chose to attend nursing school, and I’m thrilled to be a part of this brigade in order to help fulfill that goal. When I’m not studying for nursing exams, I like to binge-watch The Office and spend time with my family. This study abroad experience is an amazing opportunity, and I can’t wait to improve my nursing skills while bonding with my fellow students and serving the people of Sangkhlaburi! “When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.” - Fred Rogers |
