Kim is a Solutions Train Engineer (STE) and servant leader whose passion is relationship building, teambuilding, and coaching teams towards working better together to achieve more success.

Kim's Agile journey is anything but typical. Kim has over 20 years of project management and Lean experience in aerospace, banking, insurance, and information technology. She jumped on the Agile train in 2017 with the privilege of being mentored by and assisting the company's Agile Transformation Leaders. Initially, Kim worked with teams in measuring and reporting on metrics, release management, and facilitating large scale ceremonies such as Scrum of Scrums, Portfolio Alignment Wall, and Big Room Planning. She then moved into an official team role as Scrum Master, leading multiple software development teams, both external and internal to Value Stream's Agile Release Trains (ART). Very recently, Kim accepted a position as her company's inaugural Solution Train Engineer (STE). In this role, she works closely with the Release Train Engineers (RTEs) to coordinate solution delivery across the ARTs using servant leadership.

Kim earned her BS in Business Management and is a life-long learner who holds several certification including Lean Six Sigma Green Belt, Project Management Professional (PMP), Advanced Certified Scrum Master (CSM, A-CSM), SAFe Scrum Master (SSM), SAFe Release Train Engineer (SRTE), and SAFe Product Owner/Product Manager (SPOPM).

In her spare time, Kim enjoys traveling, spending time with her family, crafting, and spending time in the outdoors.
