Raised in an old hunt cabin in the Ocala National Forest, Kim grew up with a deep-rooted connection to Florida’s wild places. With over 20 years of experience in conservation, she brings a strong background in policy analysis and strategic planning to her work. She holds an undergraduate degree in environmental policy from Eckerd College and a master’s from Yale University in the Policy Sciences. For her, Live Wildly is about embracing a systems-based approach to conservation—one that honors the holistic interconnections between people, values, and the environment. When she’s not thinking about innovative approaches to conservation decision-making, she enjoys printmaking, metalsmithing, and spending time at home in North Florida with her husband, daughter, dogs, and chickens.
