Bachelor's of Science in Animal Science with an Equine Specialization from the University of California Davis

I worked as a Stallion Manager at the UC Davis Horse Barn for two seasons, approximately a year. During my time there I learned about the management of equine reproduction, including tracking ovulation in mares with different tools, handling and collecting stallions and a jack, and production of on-farm and shipped breeding doses. I worked closely with the team to manage the timing and practices used to inseminate and check for successful breedings for 10+ mares.

I also ran the Draft Horse and Driving Club at UC Davis which involved teaching others about the maintenance, handling, training, and driving of two percheron mares.

I was a primary caretaker of a variety of livestock such as horses, miniature horses, goats, rabbits, and a pig at a private barn for six years. My duties there include maintaining a consistent schedule of training and feeding, addressing medical issues and administering treatments, and cleaning stalls.

I have worked with a variety of equines including broodmares, stallions, foals, yearlings, and jacks. I also have experience training and gentling feral horses.

I lead a club that focused on driving draft horses, and my responsibilities included training new members, organizing events, managing paperwork, and maintaining the welfare of the animals in our care.

I have started young horses from five to nine years old. I have also worked on restarting and refreshing horses that have been out of riding for extended periods of time. I can hitch and drive singles and team for draft horses and light horses and donkeys.

I have represented the University of California Davis at Bishop Mule Days 2022 showing our jack UCD Action's Protege
