Kim is a registered dietitian. She became a RDN because she was very interested in the healthcare field and got hooked after taking a nutrition class her first year in college, perceiving that proper nutrition has a direct bearing on one’s overall health and well-being.

As a child and young adult, Kim enjoyed writing. She wanted to write a children’s book when her children were young, but waited until they went to college.

Kim did not set out to write a book about acceptance/ anti-bullying. She came to the realization that acceptance of others, despite physical or cultural differences, is a message that children need to hear from a young age. The book was written because Kim wanted to help make this world a better place in which to live. The book is a great tool to use to talk with children about this very important topic. Her wish is for all children to learn at a young age that every person should be treated with kindness, courtesy and respect. Teasing or behaving meanly toward another person is never okay.

Kim is married to her husband of thirty- seven years and has two grown children. Additionally, she has been blessed with five grandchildren to date (four of them are quadruplets under the age of three)!
