Elected as President in October 2024, I became the official spokesperson for our organization, elevating our mission, helping to create a strategic plan and increase funding. Silver Buckle has a special place in my heart, honoring and supporting youth with equine activities to build their self-confidence and interpersonal communication skills. I am most excited about the opportunity to blend activities at Silver Buckle with my career working for a non-profit that supports teens impacted by the foster care system. My peers tell me they most appreciate my expertise at productive communication, organization and keeping a calm head during emotionally charged situations.
