Upon completing her studies at the Naval Postgraduate School, Kimberly applied her technical acumen at the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) in Pearl Harbor, where her leadership as the Wholesale Production Director and later as the Wholesale Deputy Director resulted in significant advancements in the center’s ability to provide strategic supply support to operational units around the globe. Her data-driven initiatives helped the command exceed critical performance metrics, ultimately earning her the prestigious title of DLA’s Company Grade Officer of the Year in 2018.

Throughout my educational journey spanning over 12 years, I've dedicated myself to nurturing success both academically and socially for the staff and students I've had the privilege to work with. This commitment has been at the core of my professional character, driving me to continually evolve and grow, both personally and professionally.

My teaching experience in 4th and 5th grade classrooms has provided me with invaluable insights into the diverse needs of students and the complexities of classroom dynamics. Additionally, my roles as a Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) coach, Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) coach, and member of various leadership teams have equipped me with the tools to cultivate inclusive environments and foster holistic student development.

Over the years, I've also taken on leadership responsibilities, serving as a member of the leadership team for over seven years, coaching Collaborative Learning and Reflective Practice (CLR), supervising Behavioral Response Teams (BRTs), and providing support to students in need. These experiences have honed my leadership skills and deepened my understanding of the multifaceted challenges faced by educators and students alike.

Driven by a relentless pursuit of excellence, I've pursued higher education to further equip myself for leadership roles in education. I've earned a Master's degree in Educational Leadership and an ED.S in Educational Leadership, accompanied by a K-12 Administration License, with the aim of expanding my impact and effecting positive change at a systemic level.
