Career Overview

I have a mix of both academic and practical experiences within the equine sector. Alongside academic studies, I have actively worked in the industry for a number of years as a competition groom, dressage coach and advanced dressage rider. I was part of the British Equestrian Young Professionals Programme and Hartpury Equine Academy 2022/23. During this time I also completed my UKCC L2 Coaching Certificate through British Dressage.
