Eleonor Mendelson

Admissions Director
B.Pt, DAOM, L.Ac.

I am a graduate of Five Branches University and a Doctor of Chinese medicine. I enjoy sharing information about the medicine, the profession and our programs with prospective students. In my spare time, I like cooking ethnic foods, and hiking on one of the many nature trails in and around Santa Cruz.

Thomas Dicklin

Associate Admissions Advisor
MTCM, L.Ac.

I am a graduate of Five Branches University, and a life-long learner of Chinese Medicine, Daoism and all things related to health and wellness. It is always a pleasure sharing information about the profession, the profound nature of the medicine, and the variety of career paths available.

When I am not on campus teaching, working in administration, and helping students, you will find me outdoors either hiking, trail running, or engaging in winter sports.
