BA (Education & Social Work)
Founder – Wild Hearts Equine Connection

I feel incredibly privileged to combine my professional training with my lifelong connection to horses to support people as they navigate life’s challenges.

My work combines practical experience with formal clinical training in both human development and equine-assisted learning. Through Wild Hearts, I aim to create a safe, supportive environment where individuals can explore challenges, build confidence, and develop new insights through interaction with horses.
