My most recent work experience has been from July 2022 - Present as an Assistant Instructor and Assistant Barn Manager at an Eventing Barn. This has been my first full-time job since graduating in May of 2022 from St. Andrews University in Laurinburg, NC. I graduated with two Bachelor's Degrees - the first in Equine Business Management and the second in Therapeutic Horsemanship. While at school, I was an active participant in the work-study program at the barn and was briefly promoted to an Assistant Barn Manager during a period of need. I also taught Therapeutic Riding lessons through the PATH certified program at St. Andrews. During the summer of 2021, I worked at YMCA Camp Seafarer with a team of SAU students and 22 of the SAU horses. We taught 150+ lessons over the summer and worked closely with the camp directors to coordinate activities. In the summer of 2020, I remained at SAU to care for the 80+ horses on property.
