Meet the DC Chiropractic Scholarship winner
Morgan Cuellar has been awarded the 2025 DC Chiropractic Scholarship. A native of Florida, Cuellar earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Florida and is currently a student at Palmer College of Chiropractic, Florida Campus, where she serves as Palmer Council Secretary and has been named to the Dean’s List three times.
Outside her academic achievements, Cuellar is a part-time fitness instructor and a two-year competitive bodybuilder. Last year, she won 1st Overall True Novice and Novice NPC Bodybuilding at the Klash Championships. Her personal and professional experiences have fueled her passion for chiropractic.
“These experiences have deepened my commitment to helping others understand that health is a lifelong journey and not something to be fixed with a quick solution,” said Cuellar. “I am so eager to finally move to Tennessee and practice in my dream state!”

Hope is pursuing her Chiropractic X-Ray Technician certification to further support clinical efficiency and patient care. “Her ability to teach patients how to overcome biomechanical dysfunction during exercise speaks to her deep understanding of anatomy, injury prevention, and the biomechanics of movement,” said Derek and Liz Totty, both DCs. “Her passion for healthcare is inspiring.”
