After graduation, Nella will be spending the summer in Ireland working as an intern for two former Irish Olympic equestrians. In the fall, she’ll be attending Savannah College of Art and Design to pursue a degree in Equine Studies with a minor in Fashion Design, while also trying out for their equestrian team.

In seven years, Nella says, “I envision myself having completed my four-year degree and spending time abroad traveling, gaining life experience, and learning from different cultures. I hope to continue creating new memories with loved ones and new friends while pursuing my passion for 3-day eventing and progressing up the levels of competition.”

“If I could offer younger students advice,” Nella writes, “I would say don’t be afraid to be yourself, even if it feels uncomfortable at first. It can take time to feel confident expressing your individuality, especially when it feels easier to follow what everyone else is doing. However, over time, being authentic to who you are becomes more natural, and confidence grows from that. Also, never be afraid to ask for help — it is something that will only support your growth in the long run.”

We’re so proud of your accomplishments, Nella! Congratulations!
