Academic History
Work Ethic
I embrace the definition of working hard. After a long day at the barn, you can often find me pouring over notecards for a morning AP test. Because of my busy schedule, I’ve created valuable organizational and time management habits.
College Credit
Throughout my high school experience, I’ve taken as many accelerated courses as possible so I could get college credit including English, Humanities, Sociology, and World History. I believe these have prepared me for the rigorous demands of balancing college with riding.
AP Classes
I consider myself to be a science/math and reading/writing kind of person. I have taken and excelled at AP Chemistry, AP Calculus, AP Biology, AP English Seminar, and plan to finish my senior year up by taking AP Statistics and AP Psychology. Doing well on past AP tests allows me to go into college with several credit hours.
Did you know I’ve moved 5 times in the last 8 years?
Changing schools and moving states hasn’t been the easiest thing, especially when I entered high school. It’s made adjusting to new schools and social circles a challenge. Yet, I’ve worked hard to not let it affect my academic or riding career and have remained positive when facing new challenges and opportunities. In the end, having to adapt to such life changes has better prepared me for what I know will be somewhat of a transition as I move from high school student to college student.
Extra Curriculars & Service
Helping others, like showing horses, is a passion of mine. I take all the service opportunities that I can because I love to help others and enjoy making a difference in peoples’ lives. Some of my completed service opportunities include: San-n-tone Horse Show volunteer, NHS service projects, 4H service projects, and more. Not only have I participated in service projects, but I have also taken philanthropy courses at Young Women Lead Conferences.
I participate in many extracurriculars outside of showing horses including: Kentucky Youth Assembly, National Honor Society, Young Women Lead, Sources of Strength, 4H, YEDA, Horse judging, and Hippology (Horse Knowledge) Contests.

Multiple wins at 4H horse shows as well as photographs and projects making it to state fair
