Born and raised in the north Georgia foothills, I consider myself a modern southern belle. I say yes sir and yes ma'am, I drink my sweet tea from a mason jar, and I have ridden my horse through town. Growing up in what was once the country, I have developed a deep love for nature, animals, and southern home cooking. One of my favorite activities as a child was baking cookies and cakes with my grandmother every weekend. I became enthused with cooking and participated in culinary classes in my high school. However, my absolute favorite past-time is horseback riding. I started riding lessons when I was 8 years old and have been obsessed with horses ever since. On my 13th birthday, my parents finally bought me a draft horse named Silverado. I loved and cared for him until the ripe old age of 24.
With a love of the countryside and nature so close to my heart, I can think of no better career suited to me than one that involves the great outdoors. I care deeply about our fragile planet and every creature that inhabits it. With the help of my loving family, I was able to get into a college and start down the career path for Environmental Science. I do not know exactly where I may go, but I do know that I intend to make a difference.
