It wasn’t until high school that I became interested in Chiropractic. I had a shoulder injury from basketball, and I was told that I would have to have surgery. My mother was not happy with the response, so we got a second opinion from a chiropractor. He never treated me; only gave me exercises and told me to do so religiously for a month. I did and my shoulder got better! My senior year in high school, I began working for Dr. Linton as a part time employee. After seeing what a difference chiropractic made, I perused working toward my chiropractic degree. I completed my Bachelors in Biology from Morehead State University. I then headed back to Florida to complete my graduate degree in Chiropractic. I attended Palmer College of Chiropractic in Port Orange, Florida. There I graduated magnum cum laude in 2010. I continued to hold on to my passion of sports and athletes. I returned to Kentucky and became involved with competing in Tough Mudder (injury free), multiple mud runs, 5K’s, and strong man training. An opportunity became available to become certified in sports from a chiropractic view. I began additional training that was sports specific in 2015. While working through the program, I began to donate my time and services to the Montgomery County High School wrestling team, and continue to do so. After receiving my certified chiropractic sports physician (CCSP) status; I wanted more training. I wanted to impact and make a difference in not only athletes but non-athletes. My goal is to strive to be a better doctor. I then started the next step toward the diplomate training, which is the furthest degree in sports medicine for a chiropractor. In 2018, I completed the Diplomate American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physician (DACBSP) status. I am currently only 1 of 3 chiropractors in the state of Kentucky with this prestigious degree, only female in Kentucky with DACBSP and there are a little over 400 chiropractors in the nation that hold this title.
