Kim provides incredible insight and learning from her journey. As you will hear, Kim  is a close friend of mine whom I have a great deal of respect and admiration. I have watched her over the past decade lead in many different environments.

She is loved by all our classmates because she has a true servant-leader heart and cares about everyone she meets.
