Kimberley is a native of a small town outside ofCleveland, Ohio and was very active as a youth. As a result of the various activities required to support the expenses of her extra-curricular activies, Kimberley would find her professional calling—marketing. Season after season, fundraising opportunities would be no match for her natural ability to drive product sales through unique marketing strategies and tactics. In one instance, Lenny Wilkins, former head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers, responded to one of her direct mail campaigns with his personal check for $100.

These formidable experiences would later fuel her educational pursuit to become a world-class professional marketer. Managing a full-time work and academic schedule, Kimberley later graduated from Georgia State University in Atlanta, Georgia, with a degree in marketing, and went on to obtain her Master’s degree from Myers University in Cleveland, Ohio. Today that same energy, passion for people, and ability to effortlessly manage multiple high stakes situations, projects, and intense timelines are ingrained into her very DNA.
