Admissions Representative Profile
Ralph Chandos, Assistant Director of Admissions
Ralph's main focus at SCNM is to lead the admissions team by providing support and encouragement, organize recruitment and admissions programs and travel to different states educating potential students about naturopathic medicine.
Prior to joining SCNM in 2010, Ralph spent several years in admissions and recruitment as well as retail management. Ralph is completing his degree in business management.
"By connecting a prospective student with their goal of becoming and ND, ultimately I play a small role in helping future patients find healing. We will never do anything as important as what we are doing now; our student interaction is both a privilege and inspiring."
On behalf of the admissions staff, we extend an open invitation for you to come and visit SCNM and see if you would like to become part of our family.
Jody Durham, Admissions Representative
Jody Durham was born and raised in Mishawaka, Ind. She married her high school sweetheart, Jeff, and has two beautiful girls: Heather and Samantha. Jody and her family moved to Arizona in June 2002, and Jody joined SCNM in August 2006.
“This is the best change I have ever made. I love working with the students, seeing their excitement about starting the ND program, and being part of their journey into the naturopathic profession. The staff and faculty are absolutely wonderful to work with, and SCNM is definitely a family-oriented atmosphere. Everyone cares deeply about each and every student’s success.”
Jody’s main foci at SCNM are advising students, organizing Interview Day and Student-for-a-Day, scheduling AANMC Informational Forums and traveling to different states to talk to prospective students about naturopathic medicine.
Jody enjoys spending her spare time with her family, including Jackson, her Jack Russell Terrier. She also enjoys golfing, and what better place to do that than in warm Arizona!
Golfing is very relaxing and a great way to get exercise and spend time with friends and family. You also get a little fresh air.
