Kim is the Chief Operating Officer for Ignatian Ministries, joining the team in September of 2024. Kim has enjoyed a 20-year career as a Human Resources executive, working in the hospitality, medical, and entertainment industries. As she transitioned into mid-life, her desire for finding a deeper meaning and purpose for her life led her to the grace of adoption and then to begin a new career in church ministry. For almost 20 years, Kim walked with countless souls as a spiritual mentor, helping others discover their inner life and unique meaning and purpose. Kim describes her life’s purpose as being a force and a voice for hope and healing. She lives in Henderson, NV with Gary, her husband of 30+ years and Kiara, their young adult daughter.
