Kim is the Instructional Coach at Keystone Elementary & serves the district as the PK-6 Professional Development Leader. Kim has always considered herself lucky to have been born and raised a Bobcat and she enjoys creating opportunities for others to fall in love with this great community just like she has. If she's not at school, you can usually find her coaching or cheering for her 3 boys.
