We booked Kim for our Bookfair event at The Learning Ladder Child Development Center in Christiansburg and let me just say she was AWESOME!!! Kim is extremely talented and entertaining, full of life and spunk, and truly enjoys what she is doing! This experience was like none other! Everyone in attendance was amazed with her! The kids were on the edge of their seats listening and participating and singing along! The parents were laughing out loud and having an equally great time! The day after the event, one student from the center in particular was "pretending" to be a storyteller like Ms Kim! Priceless! Kids are singing the songs that Kim performed and still talking about the event! Hopefully, our PTA will be able to bring Kim back to the center for another event! If you haven't seen Kim....what are you waiting for! BOOK HER!!!

Unlike any other speaker you will have, Kim is informative and entertaining - while challenging your team to think outside the box.

It also turns your team into ambassadors for the cause.

What to Expect
Typical Gig Duration: 30 - 2 minutes
One way to know a good performer from a great performer is to find out their rehire status. Kim is repeatedly hired back year after year by many of the same presenters.
Audiences will walk away from Kim's performance with a true belief in the old adage ; laughter is the best medicine in life, and Kim is writing 'scripts to every junkie in town.
"In the style of Jean Shepherd, Kim takes the everyday potholes of life and makes us believe that they are the coaster dips needed to make the ride not only bearable, but enjoyable. And the audience agrees; thrilled and delighted the whole way - never keeping their hands inside the rails." -Diane Delago
