Dr. Marissa was born and raised in Azusa, CA.  After graduating from high school in 2013, she moved to Phoenix, AZ, for undergrad – where she attended Grand Canyon University (GCU). She graduated from GCU in 2016 with a Bachelors of Science in Biology Pre-Med.  Her original plan was to attend medical school to become an MD.  However, throughout undergrad she volunteered in hospitals and private medical doctor’s offices, as well as worked as an EMT.

Through this experience, she was exposed to the medical field quite a bit and realized it wasn’t her true calling.  Subsequently, she decided to attend Chiropractic school in 2018 and immediately knew it was the right career choice for her.  She is very passionate about being able to help people in a different and more holistic way.  She attended SCUHS’s Los Angeles College of Chiropractic and started as Dr. Mehr’s intern in September of 2021. Once she graduated in December of 2021, Dr. Mehr officially hired her to join the Foothill Family Chiropractic team!  She is looking forward to serving this community and educating them on the benefits of Chiropractic care!
