After a
school career that included years of failed chemistry classes that
began too early in the morning, she switched from a pre-med career to
one of business administration. She graduated with an MBA and, later, a
Ph.D. in Criminal Justice.
Born into a family of readers, Kimberly had never known a time that she
wasn't reading or making up stories. Therefore, after a major life
altering auto accident, the need for back surgery, a long recovery
period, no respite in sight and a dwindling supply of chocolate, she
decided to pull out a pencil and notebook and began to write about her
experiences and share some of the knowledge she had gained throughout
her career.

experience, author, entrepreneur, professional speaker & Nationally

management, and employees of a vast array of private businesses and
corporations, professional organizations and associations. As a R.A.D.
trainer, she also trains teachers, parents and children in school
districts nationwide in personal protection and awareness. This is done
by teaching simple mental and physical techniques and strategies
individuals can use to avoid victimization in their daily lives. Her
safety programs have yielded positive, immediate and long lasting
outcomes.
