Hey everyone!! I grew up right here in Columbia, MD born and raised. I had a very active lifestyle playing competitive soccer all throughout the D.C., Maryland, and Virginia region. I went to Wilde Lake High School, played Varsity soccer all throughout, and eventually had an absolute blast coaching my high school Alma Matter’s Varsity soccer team for a year during undergrad.
While I was running around town playing competitive soccer, my mother was struggling to keep up. She was suffering from severe low back pain and after thoroughly educating herself with the various treatment options, including surgery she fortunately decided to give chiropractic a try. I had no idea at that point that her decision to start chiropractic care would not only assist her in avoiding surgery, but would ignite a passion that would ultimately shape my career.
After completing my Bachelors Degree from St. Mary’s College of Maryland I embarked upon my journey in becoming a chiropractor and attended Logan College of Chiropractic. I chose Logan College of Chiropractic because Dr. Brian Morrison, the doctor that turned my mother’s life around, attended it years prior.
After living in St. Louis, MO, Naples, FL, and Leesburg, VA practicing in some of the largest chiropractic clinics in the country, I knew it was time to return home to Columbia, MD to serve my hometown and live closer to my family.
I’m absolutely determined to inspire optimal wellness through unleashing the body’s innate ability to heal so that our community can reach higher levels of health. I am extremely excited to have come full-circle back to Columbia,MD and I look forward to meeting you and your family soon!
