My Story
From a young age, I have been fascinated by the human body's remarkable ability to heal itself. This interest deepened as I watched my mentor and family member, Dr. Mario Awwad, make a profound difference in the lives of his patients. Inspired by his work, I decided to pursue a career in chiropractic care and attended Logan University College of Chiropractic Medicine.
During my time there, I engaged in various leadership roles that enriched my experience, including serving as the Treasurer of the Student American Chiropractic Association, Head Anatomy Lab Assistant, Student Ambassador, and Teaching Assistant for several adjusting and anatomy labs. I found great joy in mentoring incoming students, helping them refine their skills and develop their passion for chiropractic care.
Outside of my professional pursuits, I enjoy a variety of hobbies that keep my life balanced. Spending time with family, hunting, fishing, golfing, competitive shooting, coaching baseball, weight training, playing pickleball, practicing judo, and attending professional sporting events are all activities that I cherish. I attribute much of my success to the unwavering support and love of my family and friends, whose encouragement has been instrumental in my journey. I am committed to living life to the fullest while making a positive impact on those around me.
