I am a twenty-something female player from the USA, and I love all things animals, travel, and psychology. I'm currently working toward my dream to become a clinical psychologist and have a practice of my own someday, incorporating my love & experience with horses into my practice.

I began riding horses at 8 years old and continued through my teens and into my early 20s as a working student. As I got older and more confident in my abilities, my trainers often paired me with the greener, more unpredictable horses that others were leary of.  Working with these horses was incredibly transformative for me (with many a hospital bill to show for it), and it played a big part in introducing me to the world of psychology and the incredible opportunity horses have to help people heal. These days, as the effect adulthood has on many, my non-horsey job has taken precedence and riding has unfortunately fallen to the wayside. So, for now, Howrse will have to suffice ;)

My avatar is from a trip to Scotland in 2022, where I got to fulfill a lifelong dream - to ride a horse on the beach! It had been a couple years since I had ridden, but Bella took great care of me. I will never forget that experience!
