The bulk of her career has been spent watching and reporting on sporting events. She's clocked more than twenty years of experience between The Sacramento Bee and The Davis Enterprise. At The Enterprise, she won state and national writing awards and was the sports editor in charge of multiple state and national award-winning sections.
She even spent a summer writing greeting cards for African American Expressions.
Kim's career path took a dramatic turn in 2006 when she began a five-year teaching stint at Sias International University in China's Henan Province. The administration took advantage of her experience, and she taught newspaper and reading classes. She was later thrilled to get to teach American Culture Through Film where she learned the universal secrets behind storytelling.
Between the symbolism learned from films and the countless lecture hours, Kim was primed to become an Experience Expert (aka Tour Guide) for The Broad contemporary art museum in downtown Los Angeles. In her three years at the museum, she gave numerous public and private tours of the collection. Just as Kim had done with athletic contests, she broke down the artwork into understandable pieces, exploring the artists and materials. Kim's favorite tours ended with someone telling her they never thought they'd "get" modern art but her tour helped them enjoy the work.
Kim returned to the Sacramento area recently to become a caretaker for her father. She is once again working at The Enterprise, this time as an associate sports editor, designing pages and telling stories.view less
