One Year. One Physical Therapist in Trujillo, Peru.

Combining passions of global public health with travel and cultural immersion... With the help of the Catholic Medical Mission Board, I was afforded the opportunity to live outside of Trujillo, Peru for one year's time (2010-2011). Check out old posts about my experiences as a PT working in hospitals, a school, an outpatient clinic, doing research/community based rehabilitation, and a little teaching too. And my experiences with an entire calendar year of holidays, cultural customs and new culinary experiences!

I make it back about once a year with university students/CMMB projects, so I will periodically provide updates :)

In Loving Memory


The world lost an amazing person today, but heaven gained another.

In loving memory of Deacon Ken Donohue…

Who has been an inspiration in my life since I was a little girl. He always lived by example, lived a life of deep spirituality, family values and self-less service to others. Though he may not know it, Ken has been a big source of personal encouragement, especially during difficult times and challenges I’ve faced here in Perú.

A few months ago, he shared his favorite Bible verse with my family:

As long as I live, I will sing and praise you, the Lord God. I hope my thoughts will please you, because you are the one who makes me glad.

-Psalm 104:33-34

Without a doubt, I can still hear his song and praise. He will continue to inspire me throughout my life.
