Meet our newest staff member, Alena!

​Hello readers!  My name's Alena.  I'm currently a pre-med student at the University of Michigan getting a minor in music.  My favorite composer is Dmitri Shostakovich because he was forced to compose nationalistic music for the USSR, so he wrote his pieces specifically to ridicule Stalin's regime.  He would also use musical note lettering to write the names of him and his lover as two independent themes intertwining within the structure of the composition.  His pieces always sounded like a mixture between intimately frightening and romantic.  I play rugby with the University of Michigan Women's Rugby Football Club--but my biggest fear isn't being smushed, it's becoming lactose intolerant.  I really enjoy working for Foundation Chiropractic because I have the opportunity to meet many kind and interesting people while watching their health improve along the way!
