I have been riding all of my life with a break in my young adulthood for marriage, kids and living abroad. Returned to riding once we repatriated in 2018 and introduced my daughter to the sport. We were very active in schooling shows when we lived in California and have thrived since arriving in Colorado and joining CHJA in 2022. My experience as a stirrup rider, horse owner and show mom to a competitive junior in the CHJA and USEF world I feel led to give back to the CHJA community. I immerse myself into every organization I am involved in and love to work in a team environment. I have a plentitude of experience in project/change management in my previous corporate life as well event planning (having run the inaugural Gala for a 501c3 in Texas, as well as several following years). I would love to be involved in planning the year end banquet, medal finals and anywhere else needs match my experience. I feel it is important to have an active competing CHJA member as well as CHJA Jr parent serving on the board alongside trainers and judges, helps to round out the board's perspective. I have seen many positive changes the past two years and would like to be part of that change.
