Summary

I strive for perfection, not only in my academic studies but also in my equine pursuits. I focus on performing at the highest level of my abilities no matter the situation. I have experience working collaboratively with riding clients as well as academic professors who differ in opinion but want to reach the same goal. As a homeschooled student, I not only managed my classes and my responsibilities at our family-owned horse farm, I also helped rear our family-friends child and homeschooled her though her second grade. In my spare time, I like to volunteer as a docent for the Rookery Bay Environmental Center in Naples, Florida. In addition, I have also supported my local church as a lector in that ministry.
