Instructor, Assistant Barn Manager, and coach of the Trinity College IHSA Team. 

Justine began riding at the age of 11 in her hometown of Zionsville, Indiana, and was hooked after her first lesson. She gained experience showing at local hunter/jumper shows as a teenager, participating in IEA, and training her own OTTB at 17 years old.

Her love of the sport led her to Lake Erie College, where she graduated from their intensive Equine Studies program with academic honors. While in school, Justine participated with both the IHSA and IDA teams, worked with many green horses, and saddle broke a horse as part of the program. Though not often having the opportunity to compete, she did gain experience jumping 3’3”/1m on a variety of horses and riding through Third Level dressage. She also found herself working on the set of Echo Valley (AppleTV) in 2023 as part of an internship for college. Her name may be in the credits, but her personal horse was the one in front of the cameras.

After spending two years developing her adaptability and creativity as an instructor with the diverse equestrian community of New York City, Justine has honed her talent for guiding riders to a better understanding of their equine teammates.
