Kimberly is a results-driven keynote speaker who empowers teams to harness grit and gratitude to achieve their goals and exceed expectations.

With a powerful personal story of resilience and a proven track record of success, she inspires organizations to take small, daily steps that create big, measurable outcomes —both professionally and personally.

As a record holding collegiate athlete and an award-winning insurance agency owner, Kimberly understands the power of determination, adaptability, and strategic action. Her career began with 16 years in pharmaceutical sales, helping patients navigate insurance complexities.

Since launching her agency in 2016, she has helped countless individuals and businesses secure financial and health protection, reinforcing her core belief: preparation and perseverance lead to success.

But Kimberly’s impact goes beyond business. She has turned personal adversity—including the loss of her son, a life-threatening illness in her daughter, breast cancer, and financial hardship—into a formula for resilience that teams can apply to stay focused, push through setbacks, and deliver results.

Her passion for turning challenges into opportunities led her to Extend the Wave, a movement bringing hope, encouragement, and connection to children and families in hospitals nationwide. Inspired by the Hawkeye Wave, Extend the Wave ensures that families facing difficult medical journeys feel seen, supported, and never alone. Through this initiative, Kimberly is proving that a simple act of kindness can create a ripple effect of impact across the nation.
