I have been riding since I was 8 years old, wherever and whenever I could (I moved a lot as an Army Brat). As a kid, I showed small pony hunters and participated in Pony Club. In college I rode on the school equestrian team. Since 2004, I have been riding and training with Dana Fitch at Pioneer Ranch in New Smyrna Beach, FL. I own a sweet little Paint who goes by the name of Ed and is retired from showing. Currently, I have the honor and privilege of riding and training one of Dana’s Arabians in the Basic Handle and showing him in traditional and western dressage.

I am a member of USEF, USDF, Central Florida Dressage Club (CFD), Western Dressage Association of America (WDAA), Western Dressage Association of Florida (WDAFL) and my local riding club, Silver Sands Bridle Club (SSBC). As a member of CFD I participated on the board including the tabulation of points for year-end awards. As a member of SSBC, I am a past member of the board and, for the past seven years, I have been responsible for issuing member stall and work certificates
