She works in Youth Entrepreneurship overseeing 17 schools in 4 states participating in a program that utilizes design thinking and emerging technology to solve real-world problems for local small businesses. She is an expert at integrating design thinking (human-centered design) and emerging technologies (Augmented reality, virtual reality, and drones) into all content area classrooms. Prior to becoming a program coordinator, Kim spent over 10 years in the classroom, first as a SPED teaching assistant, then as a CTE business teacher and CTE director/administrator. She became an expert in technology integration in the classroom, speaking at conferences for Arizona Business Educators Association, AZ Technology in Education Association, Arizona Charter School Association, and Western Business Educator Association.
