Fun Facts
Kim is a self-described “bird nerd.” She spent four years as a volunteer raptor docent for the West Valley Outdoor Learning Center. In that role, she cared for the owls and hawks living at the facility and participated in providing educational activities for the children within the school district. Her passion for birds extends to her yard where she devised a backyard landscape with native plants to provide food and shelter for the birds all season long.
