Gryder comes to NCHA with experience managing international communications. Gryder is also a recent graduate of Stephen F. Austin State University, obtaining her Master of Fine Arts in Graphic Design with a focus in photography.
“It has been a lifelong dream to work in the horse industry, and I am honored to be working with the best-of-the-best in the National Cutting Horse Association. The athleticism and intelligence that cutting horses display has always captured my attention and I cannot wait to combine my passion with my degree,” said Jessica Gryder.
Over the past few months, Gryder partnered with various ranches around the United States to obtain their history, photographs, and knowledge which she used in her thesis paper Chroma Cowboy. In 2022 Gryder attended study abroad in Florence, Italy with the Santa Reparta International School of Art where her artwork was displayed. In her spare time, Gryder likes to run with her dog, Kiwi, and swim.
“We are thrilled to bring someone into our marketing department with a diverse background who will continue to elevate our team,” said Jay Winborn, NCHA Executive Director.
