I started with horses when I was very young and have always been drawn to horses that carry the title of “problem horse.” This sparked my journey into natural horsemanship, where I learned that with some patience, respect, and understanding, we can find real, transformative solutions with horses as our partners.

A horsemanship-first approach may be applied to any aspect of working with horses, however, I found my passion in equine dentistry. In 2009 I embarked on my professional dentistry journey with Dr. Geoff Tucker, DVM, and founder of Horsemanship Dentistry™, The Equine Practice, and the Horsemanship Dentistry School.

After learning from the leading practitioner in the horsemanship dentistry industry, I have now become one myself. In 2022 I purchased a portion of Dr. Tucker’s practice and created Winning Edge Equine Dentistry. 

Now, I work with willing horses and their owners across the Eastern United States on their equine dental care and work as an educator at the Horsemanship Dentistry School with Dr. Tucker.
