Kim came to the Washington Women’s Foundation with over 25 years of experience in resource development and communications. Her specialty lies in individual giving and grants management in which she has an established and sustained track record of increasing and diversifying revenue sources and expanding the capacity of development departments.

Kim spent the last decade working for culturally based community organizations. A common thread and expertise in her work is building culturally relevant systems in partnership with program staff and board. This was especially evident during her tenure as a development director with the National Indian Child Welfare Association and Instituto del Progreso Latino where she played an important role in addressing philanthropic equity.

Kim earned a master’s degree in international public service management from DePaul University and a bachelor’s degree in economics and global studies from Pacific Lutheran University. While she grew up in the Northwest, Kim’s family is from Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians. In her free time, she spends time with her large extended family, learning to weave, and doting on her three pups.
