As a lifelong equestrian, I always strove to learn everything about the horses that fascinated me as a child. This led me to pursue a degree in Equine Entrepreneurship when I attended Lake Erie College and was pleased to graduate Summa Cum Laude. After school I had various jobs in different aspects of the equine industry, but I found my true calling when I discovered an opportunity in the saddle fitting field with Stübben North America in 2014. I've loved how much I can help horses and riders find balance and harmony with one another through custom saddle fit.
Always eager to learn more, I graduated a 6 month long Certified Saddle Fitter course in the spring of 2017 with Mike Scott, learning a more general perspective on saddle fit with a firm background in anatomy and kinesiology which I now utilize in all my work.
The newest addition to my lineup in 2025 includes Amerigo and Equipe saddles from partnering with World Equestrian Brands. The first decade I've spent as a saddle fitter have instilled an extremely high standard for variety of fit options, quality, and comfort for both horse and rider, so I'm thrilled to have joined the WEB team. Their commitment to the horse is truly inspirational, and I can't wait to share the new knowledge I've procured with my clients!
The buckskin in my pictures is Tristan, a '98 Connemara/Trakehner cross gelding and my soulmate of 20+ years. Together we have grown from being afraid of small jumps, to completing a successful run at Preliminary eventing. Soon, I look forward to bringing my young horse Thomas into the competition ring to try and fill Tristan's large shoes! As a competitor I have felt first-hand how revolutionary the effects of a properly fitted and balanced saddle can have on your riding.
