I was born and raised in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, which is currently the home of the largest and most functional radio-telescope. At the age of 16, after suffering a Martial Arts injury, I discovered the benefits of Chiropractic. I attended college at the University of Puerto Rico in Arecibo, where I obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Social Science, with a major in Industrial and Organizational Psychology receiving Magna Cum Laude Honors. I then attended University of Phoenix in Puerto Rico, where I graduated with the highest honors completing a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling. After practicing for a while, I decided to pursue another degree and a career change, leading me to attend New York Chiropractic College (NYCC). While attending NYCC, I was inducted into the Phi Chi Omega, honor society for maintaining a consecutive GPA above 3.5. I graduated NYCC in 2017 and had the honor of receiving the D.D. Palmer award, given to a student who excels in their technique and care demonstrated in a clinical setting. Currently, I am a board-certified chiropractor utilizing different techniques, such as Flexion/Distraction, Spinal Decompression, Spinal Manipulation, Drop-Table Technique, Myofacial, Release, Trigger Point Therapy, and Therapeutic Rehabilitation. I am fluent in both English and Spanish.
