Medical Assistant and Cameraman

While at UCLA I took a semester off to volunteer for the Tibet Vision Project, an American medical mission in Tibet working with Nepalese, Chinese, and Tibetan doctors.  The project provided medical equipment, trained doctors, and organized "eye camps".  We traveled to remote parts of Tibet with the doctors to take over local hospitals to serve the nomadic and local people with cataract surgeries, eye glass fittings, and provide other ophthalmic services.

I served as both medical assistant at the eye camps and solo cameraman on the trip.  Some of the footage was used in Isaac Solotaroff's award-winning documentary about the project.
