“Success in college requires dedication, persistence, and most importantly, a strong foundation in study skills. Much like mastering a sport or art, drills and skills are critical to mastering academic success. My goal is to help students build academic skills that can be applied to any academic discipline.”

In My Spare Time…

I am a student of the equestrian saddleseat discipline. Spending time at the barn, riding, and caring for horses is my therapy. I enjoy following top American Saddlebred horses and competitors within the discipline and cheering on my ‘barn family’ at horse shows! My greatest equestrian accomplishment was placing 4^th in the final round of the National Academy Championship Horse Show in 2017.
