My academic background is in nutrition, biology, enocrinology and animal science. I have taught students at the undergraduate level, and am skilled at breaking down concepts for students to understand. I like to think about how I'd want something explained to me, and I use that to help students learn. My outside interests include horsebackriding, paddleboarding, fitness and travel.

I'm an active equestrian and I have 1 horse. I also teach Jazzercise, and am a general fitness enthusiast. I enjoy outdoor activities, including paddleboarding, hiking and horseback riding. I am a professional equine nutritionist, and working on expanding my expertise to include companion animals (cats and dogs in particular).
