I was born and raised on a small horse farm in Collinwood, TN. Currently, I live in Athens, AL where I own Grassland Ranch, a boarding facility and barrel racing/horse riding school for children ages 4 to adult. I enjoy playing basketball, riding horses, and barrel racing throughout the United States. My other hobbies include seeking adventure such as hiking, white water rafting, rock climbing, and other adrenaline filled activities. It is my passion to share these activities as well as horse riding with others at school, at home, and in the community. It is my goal to see students each year grow and develop into independent and responsible individuals that are further prepared for high school.
