began riding as a six year old on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. At age ten, she became a working stable assistant to help pay for huntseat riding lessons and showing expenses. After moving to a recognized show stable, Kim began training with top professionals – leasing her first pony in exchange for her labors – and earning many show championships. She obtained her first instructor’s license in 1980.

Kim attended the University of Massachusetts, Amherst’s Equine Studies Program and, upon graduating, began breaking and training young horses for the racetrack.

After a brief stint in the corporate world, Kim returned to the riding arena full-time. For ten years (1994-2004) she taught at the Dana Hall School Riding Center in Wellesley, Massachusetts, serving as Camp Director and year-round instructor to community riders, Dana Hall and Wellesley College student equestrians.

Kim directs the purchase and sale of horses for clients, and successfully rains and coaches students at the highest level of hunter jumper horse showing.

Kim and her son Patrick live in Medfield, Massachusetts.
