The nature of his career kept the family moving from Austin, Texas to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and Japan until finally settling in Sellersburg, Indiana. Kimberly proved to be a natural athlete in high school, excelling in track and field, volleyball, and basketball, but her senior year she decided she wanted to hang up her basketball jersey and try out for cheerleading.

A fellow high school cheerleader talked her into trying out for the dance team. With very little dance experience Kimberly made the team, to be up to speed with the rest of the dancers she started training at Jacob's School of Music Ballet Program. With persistence and hard work she was most improved her sophomore year, captain her senior year and became a Universal Dance Association Dance instructor teaching dance camps through out the Midwest.In 2001 after graduating with a degree in Kinesiology, Kimberly moved to Los Angeles to pursue her passion for dance, she booked a dance agent at an open call audition, danced professionally for the Avengers Arena football dance team and booked a role playing a cheerleader in The Hot Chick (2002) with Rachel Mc Adams.

After an auction a passenger, loving her presence on the stage, gave her Stella Adler's book "The Art of Acting". The book resonated with her in a strong way. It didn't take her long to quit ships and start her studies at the Stella Adler Acting Academy in Los Angeles (2006-2008), performing in plays such as Two Women and a Chair, Eleemosynary, and Cabaret.

In 2016 Kimberly booked the role of Kelly in LA's longest running comedy "It's Just Sex". and what a whirlwind of a performance she gives. She has so much character and zest. Kimberly gets angry one second and falls in love the next and above it all has to respond to her co-star's performance with such fluctuations that it was like watching a 'comedy tennis match' between the two of them. She gave as good of comedy hits as he did! So much fun!Kimberly was asked to do a scene for a final audition at the Actors Studio West. Even though she was not auditioning, the judges liked her very much and invited her to become a "Working Finalist". Kimberly also continues coaching with Method acting coach Tony Greco.
