PERSONAL: From South Hadley, Massachusetts ... daughter of Christopher and Kim Ferro ... has one older brother, Cody ... enjoys photography, writing and watching movies ... favorite professional athlete is Karen Polle because she has always loved the way she rides and how she cares about her horses as much as she does the sport ... biggest athletic thrill is the first time she showed in the international ring at WEF. She says it is one of the first times she was nervous to show, but that it was the most fun she has ever had in the ring ... chose to attend Fresno State because of the atmosphere. She says other schools showed competition within the team itself in fighting for show spots, but the team at Fresno State was different - the team was close and supportive of each other ... is a philosophy major.
