Aside from my studies at SMU, I am also a member of the university’s Division I equestrian team. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember—growing up on a farm in Saegertown, Pennsylvania, I spent nearly every day in the barn, training, competing, and developing a deep appreciation for discipline and hard work.

Alongside my passion for riding, I’ve always loved writing. Whether it’s storytelling, journalism, or creative work, writing has been an outlet for me. My experiences as both a student-athlete, a writer and a business student, continue to shape who I am, pushing me to grow and pursue opportunities that inspire my creativity and commitment.
