Biography:                    Chandra is currently a graduate student studying Chiropractics at Northwestern Health Sciences University in Bloomington, Minnesota. She previously graduated with a degree in dietetics and nutrition from South Dakota State University in Brookings, South Dakota, and grew up in Highmore, South Dakota, a little town of 800 in the center of the state.

When Chandra isn't hitting the books, she is an avid Green Bay Packers fan and even has a "cheesehead.Ó She also follows the Twins and was so excited to go to her first pro football game this year when the Minnesota Vikings played her beloved Packers. She enjoys traveling, snowboarding, volleyball, spending time with her friends, dancing and doing choreography, singing a little karaoke, and being on-stage and entertaining in general.

Chandra has a special place in her heart for the Relay for Life and has given of her time and talents to give back to the organization. It began when her aunt was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and through God's will and the doctor's foresight, ChandraÕs aunt has been cancer free for 10 years now. She has also participated in ChildrenÕs Miracle Network Fundraiser, and as Miss South Dakota USA she will have the opportunity to assist with the Special Olympics in the spring.

As a Chiropractor, Chandra wants to specialize in sports injuries and women and children." I have always enjoyed being involved with children and their well-being." This was evident in her youth, as she started her own dance company at the age of 15 to give school children a positive place to go after school and help them realize their potential. They performed during half-time of sporting events and gave a dance recital to help boost confidence. Chandra is hoping that her dietetics and nutrition degree will be put to good use due to the ever increasing child obesity issues our nation is facing today.
