Additionally, she is a Board Member of the Florida Recovery Friendly Workplace Coalition, State Trainer & Teacher for the National Alliance on Mental Illness, Mental Health First Aider, Certified Life Guide, Certified Professional Coach, and Certified Facilitator of Addiction Awareness Training.
Kim was a top performing professional who suffered in silence with depression, anxiety, alcohol misuse, and intense suicidal thoughts. She feared judgment, retribution, job loss, and damaging her professional integrity, if she spoke openly and acknowledged that she needed help.
As a result, she remained silent and almost lost her life. A conversation with an observant leader was the turning point that changed and saved her life.
At 15 years sober and healthy, she teaches leaders how to create a culture where everyone feels safe speaking openly about mental health.
She has the unique ability to teach through the lens of the lived experience and the lens of the leader; has worked with clients in law enforcement, healthcare, education, legal, corporate, construction, HR, and non-profit; and is a frequent Keynote Speaker.
Her mission is to share her lived experience to teach leaders how to create a safe culture where everyone is empowered to speak openly about mental health.
A conversation with an observant leader was the turning point that changed, and saved, her life.
