About Me
I am a college senior who is passionate about horses, photography, and art. I am currently attending Berry College in Rome, Georgia, and am pursuing an individually designed major with a concentration in entrepreneurial marketing & communications.
I am proud to be a student athlete competing on Berry College’s highly successful IHSA equestrian team, in both hunt seat and western disciplines. The Berry College western equestrian team has earned multiple national championships. I have served as my team’s western head captain since 2021, and served as the strength and conditioning captain from 2020 to 2023.
Since May of 2023, I have worked as an intern in the marketing department at Tryon International Equestrian Center & Resort (Tryon International). My responsibilities as an intern include capturing photo and video used for marketing purposes, writing press releases, content creation, and monitoring various social media platforms.
At Berry College, I work for the head coach of my equestrian team, doing administrative work, travel arrangements, and other team related duties. I previously worked in Berry College’s Marketing and Communications department from 2019 to 2023, and as the photographic services coordinator from 2022 to 2023.
During my youth career, I trained at a barn an hour and a half away and spent 20 hours a week and 600 miles traveling there and riding. I successfully trained under AQHA Professional Horsewoman Kim Bisson in Barre, Vermont. In competition, I showed in the youth all-around events, specializing in Horsemanship, Equitation, and Showmanship. When I was not showing on the AQHA circuit, I competed in the Youth Equestrian Development Association (YEDA) in Horsemanship and Reining. This experience has given me a good foundation for what it is like to show in a college program.
I also competed in track and field for several years. I began hurdling and long jumping in middle school. I have been the MVP for my school's track and field team three years in a row. I hold multiple school records in three different events. In 2016, I was the only female freshman in my division in the state to qualify for the championship meet in any hurdles or jumping event. In 2017, I qualified in three events and came in fifth in the 300 meter hurdles and 100 meter hurdles.
