I graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree from Valparaiso University in 2013. Three weeks later, I enrolled at the prestigious Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa, the first chiropractic institution in the world. I have since graduated in 2016 on the Dean's list after a 4 -year intensive program as a Doctor of Chiropractic. I am board certified by the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners, and I am a Board Member of the American Black Chiropractic Association.
As a chiropractic student, I extended my studies by becoming a radiology intern. As an intern, I specialized in helping interns and under classmen correctly take and analyze radiographs. As an intern, I also worked extra hours providing chiropractic care to active-duty military and their families, as well as providing chiropractic care to patients in underserved areas in the community. I also was a Palmer Business Center Ambassador, where I provided an essential service to Palmer College of Chiropractic by serving as a liaison to current and prospective students, the community, alumni, and business professionals. As a chiropractic student I spent a lot of my free time working with the Palmer Promotes Play community outreach program where I volunteered in many different projects for children in the community such as tutoring, planting trees, and building a park.
The past 7 years in practice have given me vast experience and allowed me to learn to care for a wide variety of ailments from which my patients may suffer. For the past 7 years of practicing chiropractic, I have experience with taking care of patients from infants to the elderly, including pregnant mothers. My mission is to restore and revive health through natural chiropractic care, allowing my patients to live their lives to their fullest potential.
I grew up in the south suburbs of Chicago in Lynwood, Illinois just near the border of Northwest Indiana. I have two sons, one who is now my guardian angel, Bryce, and my rainbow baby, Brayden, who is now one year old. During my free time I enjoy volunteering at my church home Victory Apostolic Church with children ministries and as a mentor for young girls. I also enjoy attending professional sports games with my family and friends, and spending quality time with my family making lifelong memories. It is my passion for helping a community near where I grew up and where I now reside that has led me to this wonderful Northwest Indiana Community. I could not be more excited to continue the rest of my life here in Northwest Indiana.
