I believe that every person has the right to pursue a fulfilled life as much as health allows, and that it is the responsibility of those who have the means to enact change to pursue justice for those who are otherwise incapable.

Rebecca is from Howell, New Jersey. Her work at the Pulmonary Hypertension Association (PHA), a rare-disease non-profit that serves PH patients and their families, inspired her to pursue the GHC fellowship and put health care access disparities at the forefront of her daily life. At PHA, Rebecca helped plan and implement education forums for both patients and medical professionals. As an active member of Rotary International, Rebecca has contributed to various humanitarian projects on both the local and global level. Rebecca graduated from York College of Pennsylvania with a concentration in ?communications.
