How fun!
🦒 FENTON ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT: Dr. Erica Peabody 🦒
This week, we are catching up with a Tiger who took a journey across the country—only to bring her talents right back to the heart of our community! Meet Dr. Erica Peabody, Class of 1995. 🧡🖤
🎓 From FHS to Dr. Peabody
Erica’s path to becoming a Doctor of Chiropractic was a true adventure, taking her from Michigan State to Boise State and the University of Alaska, before she earned her Doctorate in South Carolina. 🩺📜
Today, Erica is a local business owner, running her chiropractic office out of an iconic historical building right in the center of downtown Fenton! 🏙️
🥖 Breadsticks & Small-Town Vibes
Growing up in Fenton left a lasting impression on Erica. She fondly remembers the "small-town feel" that remains today. One of her most relatable memories? Grabbing a bag of Fenton House breadsticks as a perfectly acceptable dinner before heading off to sports practice! 🥨⚽️
⚽️ A Multi-Sport Tiger
If there was a season, Erica was likely on the field (or the slopes, or the trails!). Her time at FHS was packed with:
Varsity Soccer (all 4 years!) ⚽
Equestrian Team 🐎
Volleyball 🏐
Ski Team ⛷️
She also admits that while "Typing Class" seemed silly at the time, she realized later just how much FHS prepped her to be a great student and a connected member of the community.
🍎 Mentors & Science
Erica shares a wonderful memory of Mr. Jackson, her Chemistry and Physics teacher. She can still hear him saying, "Miss Peabody, Dow Chemical needs people like you." His big-hearted and entertaining teaching style made learning fun and impactful! 🧪🔬
💡 Erica’s Advice for the Road Ahead:
"It’s impossible to know exactly what the road ahead looks like—keep moving forward, keep taking steps and the road will unfold beautifully along the way." ✨
Let’s show Dr. Peabody some Fenton love! 🧡🖤 Do you remember seeing her on the soccer field or the equestrian trails? Or maybe you've visited her beautiful downtown office? Share your memories in the comments!
