my story

In my life I have never had anything handed to me. I have had to work hard for everything that I have earned and I have learned so much along the way. I have always been extremely passionate about music and have always loved horses. Most would call these two activities hobbies, which may be true, but for me music and equestrian sports have made me become my best self, and I will always strive to be better and better.

I have been playing the violin since I was seven years old and developed a love of Irish trad music through my fascination for the culture of the country itself. though I am unfortunately not Irish myself, I love everything that Ireland has to offer and I feel a belonging and comfort in playing Irish music. My ambitions will continue as I improve and as my passion for playing grows deeper.

There has not been a moment in my life that I haven’t wanted to be around horses. I have been riding before I could walk and my involvement in many horse organizations has helped me improve greatly as a rider, trainer, and person.
