Summary

Graduating from Tullahoma High School in 2019, I then moved on to complete basic studies at Motlow State Community College for a year. Due to an absolute love for horses and animals, I knew from an early age, Veterinarian was my goal. This is when I decided to come to MTSU and start working towards a horse Science Major with a minor in Agribusiness. I love to watch others advance in horsemanship skills and better understand these magnificent creatures. I own 3 walking horses and expecting a foal or mare this year.
