"The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark." - Michaelangelo

Meet Orlando




Orlando Mendoza is a current undergraduate majoring in Biology (Pre-med). He is interested in public health and infectious diseases (such as HIV, Malaria, and MDRTB). He initially became interested in global health through a course from Paul Farmer, and envisions working for the United Nations World Health Organization as a traveling doctor one day. He is passionate about building a global community through the works of his own research and networking. Orlando resolves to meet each challenge with resilience, passion, and hard work. Although he has overcome several life struggles in life, they have broadened his perspective, taught him essential lessons of loyalty and tenacity, and given him the confidence that he need to surpass whatever awaits him. He never uses the word ‘impossible’, because for him, it only exists for those who believe in it. Orlando will let no obstacle come between him and his dreams
