"Success is personally defined and pursued. It comes from diving into your own challenges."
I began my riding journey at the age of 5 when my family lived in Tulsa, Oklahoma. After a few years, I found my first pony Ganymede, who would eventually take me to many venues around the country and give me a glimpse of upper-level eventing. Ganymede, also known as “Luna”, deserves the most credit for my competitive nature and desire to prove what I am capable of, even when the odds might be against me!
Eventually, we collected a small string of horses that helped me complete my goals of competing at some of the most prestigious events in the country, including the Young Rider Championships. These horses also assisted in my being named to USEF Emerging Athletes Lists since 2018 and USEF Futures Team Challenges.
In 2020 we moved to Malvern, Pennsylvania to continue my journey in eventing and working towards my goal of representing the US on International stages.

CAREER
My key influencers are my current trainers, William and Katie Coleman.
They have given me a new vision of horsemanship, and what it looks like to care for and appreciate 5* horses. They have taught me that success is personally defined and pursued. It comes from diving into your own challenges. That will be something that sticks with me for the rest of my career!
I hope to cultivate the same environment for future young riders that the Colemans have created for me.

Products and brands I love and depend on to keep my horses healthy, happy, and comfortable.
Zarasyl is an equine skin barrier cream that has been developed by scientists for the management of wounds, pastern dermatitis, itchy skin, burns, sores and more. I am a huge believer in this formula and my horses have greatly benefited from the use of Zarasyl in their daily care!
Frilly Fillies Bonnets is a company that handmakes bonnets in the US. Not only are they extremely functional, but these custom bonnets have made my horses look their best in the competition ring. No one does it better than Frilly Fillies Bonnets!
Professional’s Choice is my top pick when it comes to protecting my horses legs. From dressage schooling boots, to durable and protective cross country boots, Professional’s Choice does it all! They also carry a variety of English and Western tack to suit everyone’s needs. Horses have fragile legs and I can always rest assured that they are being protected by the best.
For the last 4 years I have been a huge supporter of KEP Italia helmets. These helmets have been proven to adhere to the highest safety standards and provide excellent protection. They are fully customizable and have a variety of options for every phase, training or competing!
Fleeceworks saddle pads and half pads are a staple for me because of their variability based on my horses needs! They use materials like bamboo, pure sheepskin and Therawool (merino and merino wool) to create the perfect full pad or half pad for your horse. The technology is second to none and no detail is missed with these saddle pads!
