Work History
Rider Assistant
HEARTS Therapeutic Riding Center

Volunteered at a riding center to give people with special needs a sense of mobility and share my love of horses to those with physical disabilities ages 4-97. Led horses and ensure rider safety, which helps stimulate muscle movement and cognitive learning skills. Met amazing people that gave me inspiration that you can do anything.
