Jessica Singer – RN & Interpreter

November 2019 – This is my first mission with GMRP. I have wanted to be a part of GMRP for a few years , and now that I have gotten settled in my nursing career, I am so grateful to finally be able to join this mission and give back. I have served as a Junior Rotarian/Counselor with the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA), a camp for youth to focus on service above self. Because of this experience, I am in the process of becoming a Rotarian in the Milwaukee area. RYLA is how I first heard about GMRP. I have always had a passion for service and giving back, and I am excited to be able to extend this passion to Guatemala.

I have been a nurse since June of 2018, and work in a Medical/Trauma/Surgical Intensive Care Unit in Milwaukee. I absolutely love it! But I cannot wait to see a different side of nursing, a different side of service, and in a different country.

I also got a degree in Spanish and Medical terminology. However, I have never been fortunate enough to travel to another country and embrace/utilize the beautiful language. I cannot be more excited to finally put my language to the ultimate test, but also to engulf in the rich culture that Guatemala has to offer.

I have a passion for nursing, traveling & service, and I cannot wait to combine them on this journey. For only my second time leaving the country, I figured what better of an experience than GMRP? Very excited to meet everyone and embark on this adventure together!
