Drawing on my extensive experience as a dog trainer and handler, I'm poised to seamlessly transition those skills into the groom role. Beyond grooming and health care responsibilities, my background includes the dedicated care of challenging and “problem” canines. This journey has equipped me with a deep understanding of trust-building, individualized attention, and maintaining a secure and cleanly environment for the animals that enrich our lives.

Although I'm new to horsemanship, my dedication to learning drives me to constantly improve. I am passionate about everything equestrian. I approach each day with a determination to excel. Maintaining a clean and organized stable isn't just a duty, but a source of genuine satisfaction.

As a veteran, I am instilled with the values of safety, discipline, leadership and unyielding work ethic.

I care deeply about all animals, and want nothing more than to contribute to the well-being of horses under my care.

My role as a noncommissioned officer in the army provided invaluable experience in leading teams effectively. This background, along with my skills as a dog trainer and handler, equips me with the skills to effectively transition into the civilian world.

As a canine handler, I was responsible for meticulous upkeep of our obedience yard and kennel facilities, much like a stable and arena. Beyond tidying and maintaining cleanliness, I undertook tasks like mucking and disinfecting stalls.

Though my direct riding experience is limited, I approach the opportunity with courage, an open mind, and an eagerness to learn. My dedication is evident in my ongoing efforts to develop riding skills and gain practical experience. As a quick learner, I am committed to becoming a proficient rider and contributing to the equestrian community with enthusiasm, positivity, and determination.

Having earned accolades in dog competitions, I'm eager to transfer my winning mindset to horse competitions. While I lack direct horse competition experience, my proven ability to excel in competitive settings underscores my commitment and adaptability. I'm ready to embrace the challenges, learn quickly, and contribute effectively to equestrian competitions.
