HELLO
My name is Aimeec, I am a born and raised Angelina. I have lived all my life in South East Los Angeles. Which is why I am very extremely passionate about helping underserved communities. I got to see and experience the limited resources underserved communities have. I also seen the health disparities that developed as a result.

I STRONGLY believe that access to health care is a human right entitled to all.
