Kim first came to Old Dominion University as a 17 year old freshman. She earned her Bachelor of Science degree in May of 2000 with a major in psychology and minors in human services counseling and sociology. She was accepted into Old Dominion University's masters program in psychology, finishing her Master of Science degree in May of 2003. Most recently, she was completing her PhD in special education. She also was working full time for the Effective School wide Discipline grant and the Commonwealth Special Education Endorsement Program and was an adjunct instructor for ODU. In both her academic career and in her work, Kim was an exceptional individual. Her professors remember her as a talented, exacting and ambitious student. She was known by her students and her colleagues as an outstanding teacher and as a vibrant individual; someone who was excited about life. Kim always was willing to go the extra step.

Her talents as a research coordinator, data analyst and adjunct instructor were highly valued. She was a longstanding employee of the Old Dominion University Research Foundation. When she became ill, the outpouring of support from her ODU family was extraordinary. Kim was loved by all.
