As lead trainer for the Harvard location, I managed training and client operations for 10 employees and 20+ clients. Notable professional accomplishments include development and implementation of employee retention strategies which reduced new hire training by 60+ hours per year, and the introduction of an integrated lesson format to resolve staffing conflicts and boost annual revenue by nearly $50,000.

In cooperation with a global network of professionals, I trained and sold quality sport horses for international competition. I specialized in designing and executing customized training strategies that efficiently developed individual assets to their fullest potential. Through successful implementation of product marketing strategies, I consistently exceeded clients’ target deadlines and financial goals.

I enjoyed four years as Head Rider and Operations Manager of Scott Stewart's prestigious Rivers Edge Farm. Representing 80-100 show horses and a high net worth clientele, Rivers Edge travels the elite east coast competition circuit in the United States, excelling in the amateur and professional hunter and jumper divisions.In addition to training 10-15 horses daily, I was responsible for managing a 25-person team and all business operations. My primary accountabilities encompassed client and vendor relations and scheduling (on and off site), brand management, sponsor and media relations, equipment inventory and ordering, competition management (advertising, registration, stabling and lodging, billing and accounting, and calendar management), and foreign and domestic travel arrangements, including the preparation and execution of a bi-annual business migration between locations in New Jersey and Florida.
