BIOGRAPHYKim has dreamed of being a teacher since she was a child. She moved to Colorado Springs in 2013 to work as a secondary English teacher at a K-12, Title I charter school. In 2017, she spent one year as an assistant principal at that same school, where she coached teachers as a Mentor Teacher with the TAP program.

She is engaging in volunteer work with CASA of the Pikes Peak Region and is currently entering her fourth year as an adjunct English instructor at Pikes Peak Community College.
