Meet the Group

Anderson Garrett

My name is Anderson Garrett and I am currently in the Adult Oncology Nurse Practitioner program at Duke University School of Nursing.  I have been an oncology nurse for 3  years, working on an inpatient oncology unit at Duke Hospital.  I live with my husband and out "furry daughter" Ella, a 4.5 year old miniature Yorkie, in Cary.  I have a great interest in service, mission, and volunteer work; both in NC and abroad.  I'm excited to start this journey to Honduras and to help make a difference in other's lives.  I am thankful for my family, friends, and fellow members on the trip who have made this possible.  I can't wait to share the adventure!
Dawn Driesner

Hola, it's Dawn here.  I am the faculty member from Duke Physical Therapy School and have really enjoyed working with the Exploring Medicine trip for several years.  I'm excited about returning to Honduras to provide health care and education to the local communities. This experience has helped not only with my Spanish (which is still very limited), but also with increasing my cultural competency and improving care in a multi-disciplinary approach to areas that are typically undeserved regarding access to health care.

Ramon Ruberte Thiele

Hey, amigo!  My name is Ramon and I am a third year medical student at Duke.  Born and raised in Puerto Rico, my nontraditional path toward medicine has always been driven by my desire to help others.  I look forward to serving the people of Honduras and learning more about their culture.  Can't wait to be a part of this amazing experience with a wonderful group of people!
