Hi, I’m Kim!
I’m a Certified Youth Resilience Coach / Academic Coach / Career Discovery Coach and Certified Youth Mental Health First Aider. I work with teens and young adults through their 20s to help them manage moving forward in their lives after milestones like high school and college graduations into young adulthood, as they navigate their many potential choices for their futures.
I have 25+ years of career experience across the fields of law, marketing and writing—and my journey was tough because I didn’t have good guidance. I made some poor decisions that affected my financial future and made me deeply unhappy. I worked it out over time with help—but not until I was in my late 20s. I wished I’d had engaged mentors or coaches who could have helped me earlier. So now I am one!
I do this work because I like hanging out with young people. And I’ve always been fascinated by the fact that each of us has the aptitudes and interests to do many things in our lives and pursue many paths, but that we can get stuck for exactly that reason. How do we get “unstuck”?How do we explore? How do we choose? Where do we go next? It starts with understanding who you are and what kind of life you want to live, and I enjoy watching young people discover those things. For me, this process is the real stuff—exploration is meant to be enlightening…and fun!
My two sons are 22 and 19 and they’ve both passed milestones in the last few years, out there navigating all those many life choices. Some of my favorite moments as their mom have been just hanging out with them and their friends, talking about who they are and what they’d like to do in the world. (I’m also a writer and geeky lifelong learner, so writing college essays with teens, helping people journal their way to self-discovery, and exploring possible futures of all kinds is the good stuff for me.)
I look forward to meeting you!
