Hello, I am Jolie Crow, I am from Fairbanks, Alaska and I am in trimester 7 of 10 in the Doctor of Chiropractic program. I knew it would be a life changing endeavor coming to chiropractic school so it was important to choose the right school for my needs. I chose Cleveland - Kansas City because I was impressed with the curriculum, small class sizes, and the Kansas City area. Also, I have a family and Kansas City was a good fit for everyone. My husband was able to transfer jobs and my son is in a very good school district. Although it is far from Fairbanks, my whole family has been very happy here and I know that leaving Kansas City will be very difficult when the time comes to move back to Alaska.
Here at Cleveland I am a Multicultural Student Advocate. It is my goal to encourage a diverse student body to enhance cultural awareness. I have travelled all over the world and have lived in several foreign countries and really believe exposure to a culture is the first step to understanding. I am grateful that Cleveland has given me this opportunity to pursue my passion of cultural advocacy while pursuing my passion to become a chiropractor.

My name is Devin Jeanne Mobley. I am from a small town outside Wichita, Kansas. I have always been interested in pursuing a career in health and wellness field. I started my undergraduate coursework at the University of Kansas in Pre-Dentistry/Pre-Med. I decided to opt for a change in scenery and finished my undergraduate requirements at Kansas State University, receiving my Bachelor in Kinesiology. I went through a series of personal experiences that made me rethink the direction I was headed. I was in search of a less-invasive, more holistic approach to healthcare. My search introduced me to Chiropractic~ a safe, natural, hands-on approach to restoring and optimizing health. That path led me to a school with history and a campus with state-of-the-art facilities... Cleveland Chiropractic College. And, I could not be happier.
I am currently in Trimester 8 of 10 in the Doctor of Chiropractic program and I serve as one of the campus’ Multicultural Student Advocates. I was drawn to applying for the scholarship because my dad’s side of the family is Hispanic. I have always been intrigued by various cultures.
So, what does “cultural diversity” mean to me? It is a concept that goes beyond racial, religious, age, and gender classifications. It is about our different walks in life. We’re all different; and, yet, innately we are the same on so many levels. I believe in showing respect and appreciation for all cultures. While I do not pretend to know what every person is going through, I can say that I am constantly curious and always searching to know and experience that which makes us all unique. I believe that diversity in education is vital. It introduces us to what we will see in real-life practice and it offers us the opportunity to grow.
I am here to answer any questions to anyone that is interested in Chiropractic or the Cleveland campus or the MSA program.
