Kim grew up dancing in California's Central Valley where she studied jazz, tap, ballet, pointe, hip-hop, choreography, and stage direction.  At the young age of 15, Kim was already instructing her first beginning jazz and pre-dance classes at the Ballet Workshop of Hanford.  In Fresno, Kim performed with the Cal Bowl Dancers under the direction of Sue Sampson-Dalena, the director of The Dance Studio.

Kim focused of fitness after she moved to the San Diego area where she met and married her husband, Mike twelve years ago.  She is an ACE certified personal trainer who specializes in youth fitness.  Recently she began teaching cardio hip hop at Frog's Fitness and Pacific Athletic Club-both local San Diego gyms and has brought her own style of high energy hip hop to NCDA's Friday morning students.

Kim currently performs as back-up dancer/choreographer to Billboard recording artist, Miz Mandy, appearing in her most recent music video.  In early 2009, Kim choreographed and performed with her group of energetic NCDA dancers for a public performance entitled "All For You" where proceeds from the event went to benefit underprivileged youth.  By continuing to study dance throughout California, Kim is able to educate her students on the newest styles and techniques.  She enjoys teaching a variety of classes and levels at NCDA and is happy to share her passion with her son, Brody, who also has rhythm and is following in mom's footsteps.
