I first fell in love with horses and the equestrian sport soon after attending a pony camp at the age of 8, months after I started begging to be able to ride. Soon after my first ride, I was signed up for riding lessons and have been riding ever since. I began showing in 2021 in equitation and hunters before switching to jumpers. I currently train with Shoshana Altschuler at Owl Ridge Farm. One of my competition highlights include being Champion in the 2025 .95 meter Massachussets Hunter Jumper Medal Finals.
I’m currently a junior at Tower Hill School in Wilmington, Delaware, and I am extremely hardworking in both academics and equestrian sport. I maintain a 3.75 GPA and am enrolled in two Advanced as well as two Honors classes. When not riding, I am still at the barn, but fulfilling my role as a working student. Other than spending time with horses, I love to be in nature on runs or walks, alongside spending time with my family and friends.
Riding horses is my passion, and I would love the opportunity to ride at a collegiate level. Joining an NCEA Equestrian Team is my dream since I want to keep doing and pursuing this passion all throughout my college career. I feel so incredibly blessed for all of the good things the equestrian sport has brought me, as it completely shaped my life and myself, and brought me to the hard-working, patient, and flexible person I am today. I cannot wait to commit myself to my future team~
