Sandy grew up horse-crazy in a non-horsey family in South Bend, Indiana. She got her first pony at 13 and competed in local shows and 4-H with that pony and several other horses. She received a Bachelor of Science in equestrian studies at William Woods College (now University) in Fulton, Missouri. After graduation, she worked in Barrington, Illinois, at a Thoroughbred rehab and training facility, then moved near Cincinnati, Ohio, working at Warrenton Farm, preparing Thoroughbred yearlings for the Keeneland and Fasig-Tipton sales.

She co-owned and ran a business importing, competing and selling event horses for over 25 years, and then worked as a bookkeeper for friends Karen and David O’Connor and assisted at Stonehall Farm with various horse care duties for over four years.

The chance to work at the Piedmont Equine Clinic came in 2018, and she works in the office on both the equine and small animal sides of the practice. She lives in the village of Orlean with her corgi mix, Beau and cat, Maggie.
