Tim Soo

Tim is a founding member of Few for Change and having spent a semester abroad during the fall of 2008 and then starting the organization shortly thereafter. That year was an incredibly formative experience for Tim. Having spent brief but diverse and significant homestays with different regions within Panama, he and his cohorts began to understand the fragility of the existing political infrastructure and the ramifications that that has on rural development. Most important, the group recognized the need for change, and that the most effective method of enacting this change would be through education.

Many years after his initial experience in Panama, the relationships Tim formed from Panama have only continued to grow, and he looks forward to meeting the students every year in the comarca Ngobe Bugle.

In his day job, Tim is an emergency medicine physician. Prior to that, he worked in health tech start-ups.
