Maggie did not set out to be an entrepreneur. Armed with a Bachelor of Science in Biology, Maggie initially set her sights on medical school, adhering to the conventional path for a fulfilling career and life. During her application process for medical school, Maggie stumbled upon her natural talent for business through catch riding horses at the barn where her horses were boarded. What started as a means to meet basic financial needs unexpectedly evolved into a venture that not only sustained her, but also brought her immense joy and fulfillment. Recognizing the alignment of her passion and seeing the potential for growth, Maggie made the bold decision to veer from the traditional trajectory and double down on a horse career.

For almost two decades, Maggie has been a prominent figure in the horse industry, where she has carved out a successful professional niche. But the road has not always been a simple and clear one. She launched her in person riding academy at the start of the economic crisis in 2008, navigated the devastating wildfires in northern California in 2017 and 2019, and made massive pivots during the early days of the pandemic to continue the success of the business. Through these trials and many others, she has gained invaluable lessons in adaptability, resilience, and strategic foresight. These lessons and skills are what has led Maggie to feel unstoppable in her pursuits and are what she loves to share with those around her.

Beyond the arena and boardroom, Maggie loves to constantly challenge herself and test her boundaries by learning new skills and testing the limit of her comfort zone. For fun, Maggie loves playing at the beach with her kids and husband, running with her dog, and many other things that keep her outside and in motion. Maggie always strives to embrace life with enthusiasm and zest.
