Interests
My Passion
Since the beginning I have always been an animal lover, and had a special obsession with horses, like most young girls. MY parents saw this and decided to get me horseback riding lessons one Christmas when I was 12. Now I am 18 and draining my parents' bank account with my passion of competitive showjumping. I compete at the 1.20m height with my horse Fabio and I am continuing to ride in college but separate from the collegiate league. I also board my semi-retired horse Commander at the UC Davis equestrian center where I take care of him everyday.
