NO!... Not eels, experience leaders!
Meet the ELs for the HIV/AIDS Advocacy and Awareness service experience in New York City.
About Me: I’m a junior pre-med Biochemistry and Math major
from Burtonsville, Maryland. Last spring, I participated in the Alternative
Spring Break trip to Harlan, Kentucky and it was an amazing experience. I
decided to be a trip leader this year because of how inspired I was by the trip
leaders on my ASB trip and all the people we met that shared their different
life stories. I’m looking forward to spending time with the patients at TCC and
getting a better understanding of how HIV/AIDS changed their lives. New York
City is one of my favorite places to visit and I’m excited to be going back
with an awesome group of participants. I love to travel and experience new
cultures. A fun fact is that I have five dogs and two turtles.
Experience Leader Name: Joanne Angbazo
About Me: I’m a senior Government and Politics major from
Rockville MD with a minor in International Development Conflict Management. The
AB program has been a huge part of my academic career at UMD as I have
participated in/lead AB trips every year since my freshman year--this program
helped me find my interests in working on social issues and advocating for
people affected by them. I am looking forward to heading out to NYC to learn about how HIV/AIDS affects a major
urban population and how I can help make an impact in addressing this social issue.
...and since I am a total foodie, I am also looking forward to the great food
all over the city!
LOOK OUT FOR THE MORE ON THE REST OF THE ASB.NYC TEAM SOON!!!!
