To date, she's managed the investment of over $45M to improve nutrition at schools and increase children's consumption of more nutritious, healthy, and delicious meals.
Previous to WKF, Kim had an extensive career in education, corporate finance, and management consulting, managing strategy development and improvement initiatives. Kim earned her MBA with an emphasis on strategy and evaluation from the University of Chicago and her BS in Mathematics from Vanderbilt University. As a volunteer and board member, she enjoys robust relationships with Habitat for Humanity, Hope Food Pantry, and Texas Pie Kitchen.
In addition, Kim enjoys hiking, fermenting all the things and spending time with her pup, Dolly Parton, a blue heeler mix.
“Our programs grow with our children encouraging curiosity, creating a relationship with food, and improving consumption. Synergistically, we transform children's access to nutrient dense food and scratch cooking and prepare for the future by building capacity for school food professionals with our mission. This is equity work - all children deserve to be nourished.”
