Alexandra Hachmann
Doctor of Chiropractic student at our Florida site
“My name is Alexandra Simic Hachmann and I am currently in my second trimester of the Doctor of Chiropractic program here at NUHS – Florida. I have obtained a B.A. in Biology and Biomedical Sciences, as well as a Master of Medical Science degree. While I believe my educational background has helped me succeed in this challenging program, I appreciate all the professors’ efforts in helping us excel and prepare for our careers. As a hands-on visual learner, I am embracing the palpation courses and anatomy labs offered! I am still determining which field in chiropractic I would like to pursue; thus, readers should stick around to discover this with me! I hope to bring insightful content to this blog and demonstrate what student life is like at NUHS in sunny Florida.”
