Equine Work Experience
Active in the equestrian arts for the past 20 years, I have trained and participated in multiple disciplines including Dressage, Trail Riding, and Equestrian Vaulting.

I taught private lessons to introduce horses and natural horsemanship basics to riders ranging in age from 5 to 65, and provided consulting services to aspiring equestrians seeking guidance in curating their own equestrian lifestyle. I am actively involved in the community supporting organizations that promoted equine interests and activities. I have served on and supported the board of the local dressage association, organized clinics for visiting international clinicians and coordinated volunteers for horse shows.
