Dr. Cassie was born and raised in Maquoketa, Iowa, a pretty small town, only a population of about 6000. She attended chiropractic school at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. She has always been interested in healthcare and always pictured herself working in a family practice with an interest in pediatrics and expecting mothers. She has goals of expanding her education in that area as her career grows. Before coming to BCW, she worked as an Independent Contractor in another chiropractic office, and did some maternity coverage during that time. All through school she worked as a CNA/rehab aide at a nursing home in Maquoketa. Currently living in Seatac, Washington with her boyfriend Trevor, and little dog Rocky. Rocky is a Morkie and only weighs about 10 pounds and is such a cuddle bug!

Her journey to BCW was one for the 21st century for sure. With a boyfriend that lived here in Washington she took to social media, looking for possible job opportunities. Finding the Washington State Chiropractic group on Facebook, hoping to join and talk to some other docs here in the area. With a message back from an admin of the group(Dr. Dusty) saying that she couldn’t join the group because she was not licensed in Washington started the connection and conversation about the office looking for another doctor. She came out to visit the office and was able to do some office shadowing with Dr. Jeff, after that was offered a position and moved out here from Iowa!

In high school she was set on going to the University of Iowa for radiology. Taking a class in high school to get her CNA, and after she was certified, going to different healthcare offices in the community to shadow them. The first was the hospital, after a few days with that she realized that might not be what she wanted to do with her life. She was feeling a bit lost with what to do after that but had heard some of the other kids in the class talking about the Chiropractor they went to shadow, and how awesome it was. Realizing that Palmer was really close to where she lived and was the fountain head where chiropractic began, she made her decision. Previously she had a couple adjustments after a little fender bender in the high school parking lot. Continuing care all through school especially with working as a CNA, doing a lot of bending and heavy lifting. Chiropractic definitely helped and made her feel better.

Some of her hobbies include: spending time with her boyfriend and friends, being outdoors (esp. being on the water), watching football, going to sporting events, walking with her dog, traveling. The Iowa Hawkeyes are her college team, and the Houston Texans are her NFL team, mostly because of JJ Watt! Fall is her favorite season. She loves sweater weather, bonfires, pumpkin everything, and of course football season!
