Alivia Garwood

I am a dedicated student, accomplished equestrian, and emerging writer whose achievements reflect both academic excellence and personal resilience. I have earned national recognition in Saddle Seat Equitation, achieving championship honors through years of discipline, focus, and commitment to my sport. In addition to competing, I contribute to the equestrian community through my writing, with published work in respected industry publications where I share insight, experience, and encouragement with other riders.
After being diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, I learned the importance of responsibility, perseverance, and balance. Managing a demanding academic schedule alongside elite athletic training and health management has strengthened my time-management skills and resilience. I strive to lead by example through dedication, integrity, and a strong work ethic. These experiences have shaped my character and prepared me to succeed in higher education, making me a motivated and deserving candidate for academic scholarships.
