Share a little about yourself.

Born and raised outside of Toronto, Canada, I competed lower level dressage regularly through high school, while being a working student for a now-FEI judge. After earning a Bachelors in Recreation and Sports Business at the University of Waterloo, I moved to Lexington to pursue a career in the Thoroughbred racing industry. After several years of working with mares, foals, yearlings, weanlings, and racehorses at farms and the racetrack, I decided to return to my sport horse roots and get back in the dressage saddle, where I landed at USDF. I’m married to a Lexington local, and enjoy spending time with my husband, child, and dog, while we renovate our house.
