"Tell the story of the Mountain you have climbed. Your words could become a page in someone else's survival guide."  -MHN


Kim graduated from Madison High School, but please don’t hold that against her, as her heart is firmly rooted in Rigby where she has worked for the district for over a decade. Kim keeps the counseling department running smoothly and always has a hug or word of encouragement for the students of Rigby High, who affectionately refer to her as “Mama Kim”. 
When she is not helping one of her 1800 "kiddos" she will be found spending quality family time with her 2 sons, new daughter and Super Hero Husband.
Together they all enjoy camping, hiking, fly fishing & photography.
