Paris's Pals
I found my passion for Health Equity through my experiences interning and volunteering with my organization, Paris's Pals. Now, I want to use my established platform to get others involved in advocating for health disparities, community service efforts surrounding health equity, and policy change to increase accessibility to healthcare.
