After a corporate career that included KPMG, Bank of America, Microsoft and Expedia, she has traveled the world providing healing and bodywork services to the equestrian community. She works on horses and riders in all equestrian sports, from beginner through Olympic levels. She also teaches classes in anatomy, nutrition, equine dissections, behavior/training and various modalities of bodywork. She has been collecting and studying skeletons for many years and has a group of “teachers” (skeletons ranging in age from 8 months old through 29 years old) to help students understand how to optimize their horse’s performance and health. Sandy now resides in Pilot Mountain, NC and comes to Virginia Tech frequently to volunteer and serve on alumni committees."
