Hobbies

I have been an avid horseback rider since I was a child, and qualified for NBHA Youth & Teen World Championship in 2022, 2023, and 2024. I have given riding lessons to kids between the ages of 6-17 years old for the past two years. I enjoy working with horses, trail riding, and expanding my horsemanship skills. I have participated in junior rodeo, Yeda, 4-H, and gaited horse shows. I have attended a few riding/horsemanship clinics including Clinton Anderson, Anita Randall, and other local instructors. I also enjoy hunting, camping, traveling, swimming, and kayaking.
