For 46 weeks of the year, the South Point Arena & Equestrian Center is abuzz with excitement. The venue boasts state-of-the-art facilities and is home to some of the western world's largest events- including the World Series of Team Roping Finale, The Run for a Million, the National Finals Breakaway Roping, and more!

Making sure these events run smoothly is Rachel Kokernak, Event Coordinator for the facility. The Arizona native and Colorado State University graduate originally planned on attending veterinary school, but changed course when opportunity arose. These days, she has a hand in producing some of the fastest growing events in the western world.

In this episode of Breaking the Barrier, Kokernak shares about her dynamic job, the courage it takes to change course, and the art of acclimating yourself to a new place.
