Summary
Disciplined, hard working and committed to an intense sport, three day eventing, and my horse, while attending AP and advanced classes throughout my educational carrier. As a working student I lived away from home and worked while excelling in fulltime studies. As a younger student I was homeschooled in order to travel for my sport while continuing excellence in my education. Along the way I developed a love for flying airplanes, the French language, sketching and 3D printing.
