I have been a part of RDA for over 10 years and joined Shiresmill in 2018 when I moved up to Scotland to study. Shiresmill is like a big family open to volunteers and participants from all backgrounds and walks of life. I find volunteering at Shiresmill extremely rewarding, enjoyable and no two days are the same! I am always amazed at the interactions and bonds that form between the horses and participants and the enjoyment they get out of each session.

 When I am not at Shiresmill, I am currently completing a PhD in pest resistance management in UK horticulture. Within the Shiresmill team I am a trainee coach, help run the social media accounts and the volunteer coordinator. As part of my role as volunteer coordinator, I keep a record of the active volunteers, help support our volunteers and answer any questions about volunteering at our centre.
