Nalyn Marcus, D.C.: A Doctor of Chiropractic Empowering Women to Join the Profession
For many students and chiropractors, striking a healthy work-life balance is a top priority. They might feel passionate about helping others, but not want to sacrifice important family time to do it. Fortunately, it’s possible to have the best of both worlds—especially thanks to the efforts of Sherman graduate Nalyn Marcus, D.C.
Throughout her studies, Dr. Marcus came to appreciate the challenges that some of her single mother peers faced while pursuing a chiropractic education. That’s why she has devoted part of her chiropractic career to helping single mothers attend chiropractic college. Dr. Marcus set up the Sylva Ashworth Scholarship for single mothers looking to become doctors of chiropractic.
Empowering single mothers isn’t the only thing Dr. Marcus is doing. She’s empowering all women to join the field of chiropractic through her Women in Chiropractic seminar offered every year at Sherman’s Lyceum. Dr. Marcus works in her community to increase awareness about chiropractic and its contributions to health.
Randy Baze, D.C.: Doctor of Chiropractic, Animal Chiropractor, and Promoter of Higher Education
As any aspiring doctor of chiropractic can tell you, chiropractic has the power to benefit many patients. Whether athletes, children or infants, anyone can benefit from the natural and non-invasive care of chiropractic.
It’s one of the reasons why Sherman alumnus Randy Baze, D.C., enjoys a successful career adjusting patients at his practice. But human patients aren’t the only ones benefiting from adjustments; Dr. Baze also adjusts animals. Each week, he checks and adjusts 60-100 cats, dogs, and horses. For each animal adjustment he performs, Randy Baze asks that owners make a donation to Sherman College, and puts those funds towards promoting the future of chiropractic education.
Arno Burnier, D.C.: A Doctor of Chiropractic Who Shares His Passion for Education
Making the leap to a rewarding profession can sometimes seem intimidating. It definitely was for Sherman alumnus Arno Burnier, D.C., when in 1973 he left Paris, France, for Spartanburg, South Carolina. With nothing more than a phone number and a passion for chiropractic, Dr. Burnier began his studies during Sherman College’s foundational year.
That initial leap of faith paid off when Dr. Burnier opened his own practice after graduation. He soon began to share his passion for chiropractic through successful workshops and seminars. Arno left his practice to devote his full attention to educating and inspiring new generations with his popular continuing education programs.
