Originally from the Chicago area, Dr. C grew up as an athlete. She played softball for 12 years before suffering a shoulder injury that ended her career. Since a young age, Dr. C knew she wanted to pursue an occupation in healthcare. Her passion for helping people + her fascination of the human body + her love of sports all collided to lead her down the path to becoming a chiropractor.

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, going to the beach, Latin dancing, biking, Zumba, Pilates, and spending time with friends and family.
