Summary
Working along side Taylor Brooks for two years helped me grow my professional understanding of horses. I quickly went from farm hand to coach and supervisor. I oversaw the riding school and summer camps, as well as monitoring and training staff. At the ripe age of 17 years old I was being trusted with some of the most high-level performance horses in Ontario. I was recognized for my important role at Wynbrook when JD Adams awarded me the heard health award in 2020. During this time I was training as an athlete myself with my horse and competing at the provincial level earning 1st overall in both categories before retiring October of 2021. In high school I was very involved in school extra circulars and notably being president of the Best Buddies group at my school in grade 10 and being secretary for student council before graduating in 2022. I was awarded the VP award, Physical Education award and honour role at graduation.
