1. For someone working in your field, please describe the fantasies versus realities of the job.
(fantasy vs. reality)

My fantasy when I first became a Chiropractor was, I am just gonna do back adjustments and muscle
healing. Reality changed that when I learned more about nutrition. This info from nutrition helped me be in a
company called idlife, which has recently been becoming much more popular and I have tons of nutrient products
not only for chiropractic care, but for life in general.

then attended a Chiropractic College for graduate school. I had to pass my board exam to earn a License to do my
job. I also worked at NASA for many years.

3. Please describe the typical day to day activities of someone working in your field.

6. What potential for growth is there in your field?

7. How did you obtain important career information that you gave to me when I first met you?

I got that from experience, research, and I go to a lot of seminars, so thats how I got that useful information that I
gave to you.

I didnt know that Chiropractor was going to be my thing but I always liked the holistic approach in medicine.
Chiropractic College is very similar to med. School, but less time at internships, and I have a more controlled
schedule. Taking this into consideration, I chose Chiropractic Care.

9. Were you ever settled on what you wanted or did you change your mind multiple times as time went on?

No, my idea of what I wanted to do (holistic care) never really changed, but as I got more experienced, it evolved
my focus of where to.

10. Did you have your own mentor to provide guidance?

Revised Fall 2017


No, I was an immigrant who didnt know English well. I had to experience life on my own and learned
from that as I grew up in the United States.
