Marynowski earned a bachelor's degree in public health and worked
in the corporate health arena for two years prior to enrolling at
National University College of Professional Studies.
"I had a very positive experience and have fond memories of my
time at NUHS," says Dr. Marynowski, member of the second graduating
class from National's naturopathic medicine program in
April of 2010.
"The best part of my education at National was my study in the
clinical sciences and experiences like working in the Salvation Army clinic" she
says. "Also, I never thought I would like biochemistry, but now
that I'm in the profession, I see how important it is and I love
it."
Dr. Marynowski is now working part time in an integrative
medical practice in Atlanta along with another ND and an MD. Her
practice focuses on women and children's health, environmental
medicine, clinical nutrition and homeopathy.
She is also a clinical consultant for Metametrix Clinical
Laboratory specializing in functional medicine. She recently spoke
at an annual probiotics symposium in front of two hundred doctors
on the topic of gastrointestinal health and microbiota.
Her goals for future include eventually opening her own
practice. She also has a pet project writing and publishing a
children's book on hand washing in both English and Spanish
titled Mr. Sudsy Wudsy, Soapy Boapy's Dirty Adventures: A
Lesson in Hand Washing. Barnes and Noble recently agreed to
carry the book and will be selling it online. "I would like to
continue this project and eventually develop a series of children's
books on various health topics," says Dr. Marynowski.
What is Dr. Marynowski's advice to students in choosing a health
career? "First and foremost, you have to do what really drives you
or you feel passionate about. If you end up in a medical field
you're not on board with, you can get stuck and feel unhappy--of
which, I am not!"
