Summary
I am a first-year Veterinary Technology student at Morehead State University with a strong background in equine care and management. I have several years of hands-on experience working in horse barns, where I developed skills in horse handling, feeding, and daily care. As a member of the Morehead State University Equestrian Team, competing on both the Ranch Horse and Western teams, I have further strengthened my horsemanship and teamwork abilities. I am passionate about pursuing a career in veterinary medicine, with a focus on both small and large animal care.
