I have a B.S in Animal and Veterinary Sciences from Clemson University where I worked as a stable hand at the CU Equine Center. I also primarily took courses in equine science including Equine Exercise Physiology, Equine Reproductive Physiology and management, Advanced Equine Management, and Livestock Exhibition with a focus on horses. I also have been the teaching assistant for multiple management and reproduction courses pertaining to horses.

Supervised and trained student workers, cared for a 50-horse herd and assisted with foaling, breeding, and young horse training. Aided in vet care, and farm upkeep, and taught equine-focused courses on management, reproduction, and physiology.

I've worked in a variety of equine settings with a particular focus on equine breeding operations, foal management, stallion handling, broodmare management, breeding, and caring for/riding performance horses. Additionally, I've been heavily involved in team leadership, teaching, managing other students, and lecturing. I've also been loosely involved with equine therapeutic programs.

I've ridden primarily American Quarter Horses in IHSA Western Horsemanship competitions, as well as ridden in a class setting focusing on Western Equitation.

I competed for a year on the Clemson University IHSA Western Equestrian Team, showing primarily in beginner-level classes.
