Kim is dedicated to always learning more as a coach and trainer. She is currently an Equestrian Canada Licensed Coach, Canadian Therapeutic Riding Intermediate Instructor, Saskatchewan Equestrian Vaulting Coach, Equine Assisted Learning Facilitator and a teacher in training with École de Légéreté.

Kim fell in love with Working Equitation and has been teaching WE since 2013. In 2016 she started organizing Working Equitation Canada (WECan) and has served as President and Saskatchewan Director of the organization for the last 6 years. Kim continues to be very active in both WECan and the sport of WE as a whole as a clinician/coach around Canada, and serves on many committees promoting and building the sport.
