deeply matter to her. “I just finished my last exam of the trimester, and it went even better than expected,” Marie grins. “I really pushed myself in technique this year. Te transition to clinic work has been deeply rewarding; it’s challenging, but it’s designed to be a place where you can grow with the support of expert faculty. I have really thrived there.” Te warm welcome she received on campus inspired Marie to apply to


be a campus guide. It’s a role she was born to play. Personable, enthusiastic and with a deep love for Palmer, Marie has now welcomed hundreds of potential students and their families to campus. Campus guides also absorb and share Palmer’s rich history, a responsibility Marie takes very seriously. “History is alive at Palmer,” Marie says. “Chiropractic began here, and


it’s grown here because of the contributions of generations of alumni. As students, we have a responsibility to learn that history, share it with others and hopefully become a part of it in some small way.” Many families touring campus include alumni. “I love connecting with


Palmer graduates,” Marie says. “Tey are an amazing resource. Without exception, they have been excited to see the growth that has happened on campus. Seeing their continued passion for the profession is something that motivates me.” Marie’s plans aſter graduation aren’t set in stone. She has explored


a move to the Washington, D.C., area, but another part of her would like to stay in the Midwest. Wherever she practices, she’s prioritizing a patient-centric approach. “What excites me most about chiropractic is the personal relationship with patients,” she says. “Medicine creates so many barriers between patient and doctor. I’m focused on working with patients from the start, offering them conservative care and helping them lead the healthiest lives possible. Palmer is giving me the perfect foundation to pursue this meaningful career.”


MARIE’S FIRST MEMORY AT PALMER The other thing Marie remembers from that first day? “Lots of construction and people in hardhats,” she laughs. “It’s amazing now to see how those projects have taken shape. Palmer is always moving forward, building and giving the best to students.” Turn to page four to see what’s next!
