Summary
As a current Junior in highschool, I don't have many work experiences. While working summercamp at Merriwood, I learned a little about sales, convincing parents to let their kids attend lessons during the school year. At both Merriwood and the Jewish Community Center I learned about customer service and organizational skills, making sure lesson plans were fit to the students needs and the expectations of parents.

I compete competitively in the Hunter-Jumper discipline, and am extremely passionate about horses.
I have been riding for almost 10 years now, and attended pony camp at Merriwood even before that. I love horses, and I spend lots of my time and money at Dover. I am fairly knowledgeable about most products, and am willing to learn whatever information I am missing. I think that my love for horses would make this job very enjoyable, and I would be excited to come into work daily.
