Kim is the rock that holds us together. She is always calm and patient with the most difficult individuals. Kim is constantly interrupted in her job, but she stays steady in completing the tasks at hand. Her sense of humor is a delight as she is easy to relate to as she can add humor to almost any situation. Kim makes her job look so easy, however that is the trademark of someone who is seriously skilled in their area. We are so lucky to have her.
