My name is Erin Rosen and I received my doctorate in chiropractic from Life University in September of 2013. As a student and a new doctor I am motivated to make a difference in the healthcare field especially the field of chiropractic. My leadership roles included: President of the SOT club, Member of the Appropriations, & Professional Leadership Committee, research track scholarship recipient, proctor for the 180 hour ICPA certification series, instructor for SOT seminars and the 1st student certified in SOT by SOTO-USA. I was first exposed to research as a Kinesiology major at UMass Amherst and continued this work in chiropractic as a member of the research track at Life University. My work included: data collection and analysis for various research projects, as well as a paper acceptance and presentation at the International Research and Philosophy Symposium (IRAPS) conference at Sherman College. I also attended Babson College in Wellesley, MA. and was a Women in Leadership Scholarship recipient and participating student of the Women in Leadership Program. I graduated with honors from UMass Amherst with a degree in Kinesiology. I continued to further my studies in the health care field by graduating from the Institute for Integrated Nutrition, becoming a certified Viniyoga instructor, Kundalina Yoga instructor and a Khalsa Way Prenatal and Pregnancy yoga instructor. While in high school I founded a non-profit organization, Erin’s Helping Hands. Under my direction over 400 volunteers provided over 20,000 blankets to needy children around the world. In addition to blankets, care packages were provided to children entering foster care and homeless shelters throughout MA. In addition to the various pre-professional experiences I bring to my profession an accomplished athletic background as an elite, nationally ranked rhythmic gymnast and over 9 years of coaching experience. I understand first hand many intricacies and functional capabilities of performance in both elite and amateur athletes. My degrees in both Kinesiology and Chiropractic have also created a unique understanding of human biomechanics and neurophysiology.
