My formal education includes a Bachelor of Science degree in Wildlife & Fisheries Biology from UC Davis & a Master of Marine Science from Moss Landing Marine Laboratories (a CA State University facility).
After completing my masters degree I worked happily for 20 years in marine science; teaching and doing research with the California Department of Fish & Game and the Monterey Bay Aquarium. After the birth of my 2nd son I retired to be a full time mom. We soon added several horses to the family. I began trimming their hooves and discovered I wanted more in depth training. From this sprang my fascination with natural hoof care. In 2006 I began my professional studies and soon thereafter launched "The Good Hoof". I am a proud graduate of the Pacific Hoof Care Practitioners (PHCP) training program and have served on the board of directors of this organization.
