From her earliest roles in the competitive sectors of institutional equity and investment sales, Kimberly distinguished herself as a top performer, consistently outpacing goals and inspiring those around her. She rose rapidly through the ranks at Inland Securities Corporation, where she became Assistant Vice President and 1031 Exchange Manager. In that role, she shattered regional sales expectations—raising over $38 million monthly—and pioneered Inland’s first custom $4 million 1031 exchange. She wasn’t just a leader in title; she was a strategic builder of teams, a motivator of talent, and a master at developing systems that scaled success.

Her personal journey—balancing a thriving career, single motherhood, and international relocation—adds depth and relatability to her work. Today, she resides in British Columbia, Canada, where she continues to inspire leaders across North America.

Currently, Kimberly is in the process of authoring a series of children’s books as well as a memoir chronicling a soul-stirring journey of self-discovery in Morocco. Her creativity doesn’t stop at the page; she’s also a voice-over artist, watercolor painter, interior design consultant, and amateur chef. This creative energy infuses her coaching practice with color, imagination, and a touch of the unexpected—qualities that resonate deeply with her clients.

Despite her many accolades, Kimberly remains grounded in humility and a sincere desire to uplift others. She believes leadership is less about control and more about connection.
