Meet our team

At the heart of Idlehurst is Mrs. Kim—our founder, the farm owner, creative mind, and passionate advocate for hands-on, inclusive learning.

With a background that bridges communication, public health, and agriculture, Mrs. Kim brings a unique blend of experience to the table. She holds a BA in Communication and Spanish, an MA in Communication, Technology & Society, and an MS in Public Health Research—all while raising livestock on the family’s century-old farm.

Professionally, she’s spent over 14 years in digital marketing, graphic design, and brand strategy, leading multi-million dollar campaigns and managing high-performing teams. She’s also a nationally recognized speaker and published photographer whose work has appeared in the Washington Post.

But her true passion lies in community. As the founder of Idlehurst Foundation, she’s helped create a safe and supportive space where neurodivergent children and adults can learn, grow, and thrive through equine therapy and outdoor experiences. With over a decade of agricultural experience and three years as a therapeutic riding instructor, Mrs. Kim is dedicated to helping others find their place and purpose—on the farm and beyond.

When she is done with her 8-5 job, she can usually be found on the farm with a camera in one hand, a baby cow or other animal in the other, and a vision for what’s possible.
