With over 20 years of healthcare experience spanning postoperative orthopedic care, endocrinology, primary care, internal medicine, and psychiatric mental health, she brings a remarkably broad clinical perspective to every patient interaction.

Kim earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from [Prairie View A&M University](https://www.pvamu.edu/nursing/) in 2003 and returned to complete her Master of Science in Nursing in 2014. In 2024, she earned a Post-Master's Certificate from Liberty University, further expanding her psychiatric nursing expertise.

Kim's approach to care is grounded in treating each patient as an individual, with dignity and without judgment.
