Hailing from the quaint town of Hillsboro, New Hampshire, my journey in the equestrian world has been nothing short of exhilarating. My years at the University of Findlay were an equestrian dream come true as a member of their esteemed Western IHSA Team. Four years of dedication, hard work, and sheer passion led to incredible heights, securing not one, but two National Championships, a testament to the commitment and bond I shared with my equine partners.

With my Bachelor’s Degrees in Western Equestrian Studies and Equine Business Management in hand, I’ve ventured into the realm of higher education once again. Currently, I’m immersed in my graduate studies, pursuing a Masters in Education, an exciting new chapter that intertwines my passion for teaching with my love for the equestrian world.

But the journey doesn’t end there. As a Graduate Assistant for the Western IHSA Team, I find myself in a unique position—giving back to a sport that has given me so much. It’s not just about personal victories; it’s about nurturing the next generation of equestrians, sharing my experiences and knowledge to help others reach their full potential in the arena.

My life is a fusion of riding, education, and the joy of mentoring. Through my ongoing academic pursuits and the guiding role with the IHSA Team, I’m devoted to shaping not only my future but also the future of equestrian sports. The journey I’m on isn’t just about degrees or accolades; it’s about sharing the profound joy and lessons that the equestrian world has to offer, both in the arena and in the classroom.
