Starting in 1993, I began working for Chiropractors. My first job was filing for

Dr. Ray Knapp in Durant, OK. I became interested in patient care. Dr. Knapp offered

to train me. I was fascinated by the modalities and equipment involved in patient care.

In 1997, I began working for Dr. James Talley at Talley Chiropractic in Madill, OK. 

Duties included: Therapy, X-ray, some exam components, Insurance billing/coding, 

marketing, general clinic responsibilities.

In 1999, I left the business world and focus on married life, children. I missed the 

chiropractic clinic and decided to explore working part time/contract. I worked for

several providers in different capacities. I started DCTc, a personalized marketing

display for lobbies using digital frames on the front desk, which I expanded to TV.

I replicated and sold DCTc to several clinics and started making videos for social media,

I created Vitality Chiropractic Marketing and Management.

Beginning in 2012, I returned to Talley Chiropractic and began managing the clinic. I developed 

Policy and Procedures, Management Protocols, Website Marketing, Print Marketing, Social Media Marketing, CA Training, and replicated these protocols for Vitality. I expanded Vitality by adding employees and contracting with non-local chiropractic and multi-disciplinary clinics.  

In 2017, collaborating with medical doctors and chiropractors, I wrote "IV Therapy for The Chiropractic Clinic", and began training clinics and providers how to implement Nutritional IV Therapy into their clinics.

In 2022, using my own program, I opened The Drip Bar:  Nutritional IV Cocktails, LLC in Durant, OK.

In April of 2023, I was admitted to the hospital for gallbladder surgery. While in the hospital

I fell and suffered a broken T9/T10 which caused cord compression resulting in paralysis. 

I decided to close The Drip Bar due to my injuries. 

I continue to bill insurance, create/edit/update websites and social media, and offer my online programs to chiropractors and multi-disciplinary clinics.
