Kim's interest in education began eight years ago, when she started her own tutoring business as a sophomore in high school. She tutored middle school students in math, Spanish and English and found it extremely rewarding to share her knowledge with others and get them excited about learning.

Prior to her employment with GlobalScholar, she worked as a journalist and editor for various independent papers and magazines within Skagit County. Kim graduated from Western Washington University with a degree in journalism and environmental science and has completed a certification in GIS as well.
