Kim received her B.S. in Chemistry from Texas Tech University followed by her M.S. in Chemical Education also at Texas Tech University. Following a one year visit to St. Petersburg Russia, she went to Purdue University where she received her Ph.D. in Inorganic Chemistry and Chemical Education and had a 4.0 gpa.

Kim taught and researched at the University of Northern Colorado for two years before deciding she wanted to concentrate on teaching - and that's how she arrived here at Glendale Community College in 2005. In her free time she likes to swim, ballroom dance, play piano, experiment with vegan and organic foods, and play with her rescue dogs. She is also a big sci-fi fan.
