Avery grew up in Mooresville, NC where she started riding at a young age and has stayed with it ever since. She went to Virginia Tech for undergrad, where she studied animal science. Avery rode for the Hunter team at Virginia Tech- which was a huge part of her college experience, and she enjoyed the positive, team environment. She absolutely loved it there and is happy to be back in Virginia with some more Hokie fans.

Avery went to NC State for vet school and was involved in the student chapter of AAEP. Her particular equine medicine interests include sports medicine, chiropractic care, and podiatry.

In her free time, Avery spends time with her horse, Willie, and her border collie, Fife. She loves hiking, pickleball, and card games!
