I have worked with all different types of horses for the past 4 years. Both at school and during the summer internships.

EQUINE FARM HAND | ON THE RAILS FARM | JUNE 2020 – AUGUST 2020 AND MAY 2018 – JULY 2018 • Helped with random chores around the barn like watering and cleaning stalls. I also helped with the 4 to 5 summer camps each year. This would involve helping the kids get the horses tacked up and also watch them when riding to correct anything as needed.

EQUINE BARN MANAGER | ON THE RAILS FARM | MAY 2019 – AUGUST 2019 • Managed a small equine barn for a summer. Feed, watered, cleaned stalled, and turned out the horses. Made sure all of the horses were in good health and looked for signs of colic. Lastly, I worked with the horses, both riding and groundwork.

I have a bachelor's degree in Animal Science.

I have mostly ridden English but I have some experiences with Western. I have been ridding for 4 years and I am able to walk, trot, and canter. I have starting learning how to jump.

• IHSA Hunt Seat Team | Member Fall 2017 – Spring 2018 • Practice and worked out weekly as part of the team. I rode as a walk/ trot rider and I competed in completions. I learned how to work as part of a team and how horse completions went.
