Prior to starting chiropractic school, Dr. C worked as a personal trainer. She obtained her personal training certification from the National Personal Training Institute—a 6-month, in-person program, which operates through the Board of Education in each state. Just before that, she earned her bachelor's degree in Kinesiology and Spanish from the University of Illinois—Urbana-Champaign. Dr. C was fortunate enough to study abroad in Bilbao, Spain, for 6 months while completing her undergraduate studies.
During chiropractic school, Dr. C completed extracurricular coursework in treating the extremities (feet, knees, hips, wrists, shoulders, etc.), soft tissues (instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization, trigger-point, and myofascial release), rehabilitation protocols (corrective exercise), and elastic taping (RockTape). She utilizes her array of skillsets to take a multifaceted approach to treatment.
When she is not working, Dr. C enjoys traveling, Latin dancing, Zumba, Pilates, biking, and spending time with her friends and family.
