鈥擯roud to Tell People She Started at 海角直播

Class of 2016, AS Multiple Sciences

I started at 海角直播 straight out of high school in 2012 with the impression that I wanted to pursue Nursing, but I never really felt passionate about the field. I always knew that I wanted to help people and I鈥檇 always loved science, but I felt that I didn鈥檛 know enough about other careers to commit my whole life to something that I didn鈥檛 love. I took all of my prerequisites at 海角直播 and somewhere along the way I fell in love with fitness through Dr. Ledoux鈥檚 total body fitness class. My last year at 海角直播 I got involved in student government and it was there that I grew the most as an individual. I found my voice as an advocate for others and solidified my goal of helping those in need. I decided that I would pursue Kinesiology and transferred to California State University, Fullerton.

I loved my time at CSUF, having had the chance at 海角直播 to refine my studying habits, I felt that I was truly prepared to tackle my classes while still working the two years that I attended. As graduation approached, I feared that I still didn鈥檛 know what it was I wanted to do with my degree and through something that felt like fate I stumbled upon Chiropractic. I fell in love with the profession immediately and decided in my last semester that once I graduated, I would pursue my Doctor of Chiropractic. In 2018 I graduated from California State University, Fullerton with my Bachelor鈥檚 in Kinesiology with an emphasis in Exercise Science. I took a year off to work at a Chiropractic clinic then started my doctorate program this past Fall at Southern California University of Health Sciences. My ultimate goal is to open a non-profit clinic where I can provide care to all patients regardless of money, social class, job title, or any other things that would hinder them from receiving care elsewhere.

I don鈥檛 think that I鈥檇 be the student, woman, or future healthcare professional that I am today if my journey had been any different. Everyday I鈥檓 proud to tell people that I started at 海角直播 because it brought me to where I am today.
