Deciding on Chiropractic
“I originally wanted to work as an Athletic Trainer for the NFL. While in a Biology class in undergrad, a recruiter from Life University stared me right in the eyes and told me, “You’re going to make a great chiropractor one day.” I looked back at him and told him I had no clue on what a chiropractor was! He then introduced me to the profession and invited me to Life Leadership Weekend to learn more for myself. After that weekend, I had completely fallen in love with chiropractic and Life University! I learned that I could help athletes on a greater level by just touching them. I knew I was called to this.”
