I have a Bachelor’s degree in Agribusiness, specializing in Equine, Dairy, and Livestock. I have attended college and equine vet lectures at Rutgers University, Penn State University, Mid-Atlantic Equine Center, and the New Bolton Center. Woke of the topics I have been trained under are equine first aid, identifying and treating equine diseases of the eye, laminitis prevention, pasture and forage identification and management, protecting the equine gut and ulcer prevention, etc.

I currently work with Kent County, DE farmers to implement conservation practices on their farms.

I have been working for equine operations since I was thirteen years old. I was a student manager for my university’s equestrian center, along with being a part of the university driving club. I studied equine-related agribusiness in university, with classes such as Equine Business Management, Equine Science, and Mare and Foal. In my final year of college, I became the live in manager at a farm off-campus, as well as maintaining my employment at my university, and working for a family-owned farm that retrained polo ponies as fox hunters. I have also attended many college lectures at Rutgers and Penn State University regarding various equine topics, and I am always looking to further my education.

I have extensive experience with managing equine operations, both with boarders and without. I have very high standards for organization and cleanliness and excel in organizational skills. I am also trained in pasture management, to preserve and utilize the grounds in the most efficient way possible.

I have been riding since age six, in various disciplines, such as English pleasure, Hunt seat, show jumping, eventing, thoroughbred racing, off-the-track retraining, western dressage, driving, etc. I have had to take a few years away from riding under instruction, as I was not able to keep a consistent schedule, but have continued to ride for recreation.

I have not had much competition experience beside local and home shows, but I have been a show groom and competition volunteer for many high level competition over the years. Most recently, I have volunteered at the Horse Park of New Jersey for their eventing shows, most prominently the international Jersey Fresh Three-Day Competition.
