Andrea Griffin-Vice President
I moved to Taos in 1991, as a child, and attended a small middle school where backpacking and skiing were a part of the curriculum. The outdoor education and small class room size made all the difference in the world, and made me who I am. I attended undergrad in Amherst, MA with a Bachelors of Arts. Then moved back to the southwest and became a massage therapist, and finally graduated with my doctorate in chiropractic from Palmer College of Chiropractic, in Florida, in 2016. I am now a chiropractor in a small family business, practicing in El Prado, NM, just north of Taos. I have 2 children attending Roots and Wings Community School, and support the mission and the vision of this unique and extraordinary school. I would like to give my kids the same types of freedoms and experiences I had. I choose to live and work here because of the connection to nature and Roots and Wings recognizes how important that connection is. |
