Her first teaching position started at Hemingford Schools in 1995. The love and admiration of her students inspired her to achieve a master’s degree. She became the music director at Mitchell High School in 2005 where she taught for five years.

She was bright, loving and most of all giving. Kim will be missed by her family, friends and countless students.
