"As Vice President for Programs at the Urban League, Kimberly was she
one of the most committed and hardest working members of my team, and, also, one of the brightest people whom I've had the pleasure to know. Kimberly effectively directed, managed and implemented many projects and responsibilities. She was forthright in raising important issues that needed additional perspective, and regularly sought mine to ensure our efforts remained parallel. Anyone so fortunate as to work with Kimberly will quickly learn that whatever project she assumes will be implemented to the very best quality, with outstanding results. I have the highest regard for Kimberly's talents, intelligence, and integrity."
- R. Y. Woodhouse, Ph.D., CMP, President and CEO, Anchorage Urban League
“Kimberly is one of those people you work with who you just
can’t forget … for all the good reasons. She is an “All-Pro” at whatever
she does. Good at blending a no-nonsense approach with a personal touch
that enhances any collaborative effort. Kimberly and I worked on many
projects together as collaborating colleagues and I greatly appreciated
her ability to cut through the clutter, define objectives and identify
the executables. She always has been a dependable
partner, always doing her part and more to make a team as successful as
it can be".
- Gary Murfin, Vice President, Marketing Services, Macy's
"Kimberly is one of the most resourceful, creative, talented people with whom I have had the pleasure of working. Her ideas for launching our "Jazz in the Market" campaign -- from coming up with the campaign handle and promoting our venue to securing editorial placement and recruiting artists to perform at Local Color -- have been largely responsible for the success of our music program. Kimberly's enthusiasm and sense of humor, her ability to tap her extensive network of contacts, and her fresh, innovative thinking have transformed "Jazz in the Market" into an exciting, eclectic program that offers a friendly, accessible platform for Seattle's jazz artists in the heart of the Pike Place Market."
- Frank Albanese, Proprietor, Local Color
“Kimberly is an excellent business partner who always ensured her
communications defined the company’s vision. The challenging subject
matter that I enlisted her services on required significant diplomacy,
which she delivered masterfully.”
- Vicki Merrill, Vice President, Employee Relations, Macy's "I have Kimberly to thank as one of those on-point partners whose ideas
and energy contributed to the renown of the Executive Trainee Program. I
have continued to benefit from Kimberly's intuition, counsel and
support to address sensitive client relations issues. Kimberly's
ability to anticipate implications, her tact, and her clear vision for
what is right for the business has guided me -- and many of my
colleagues -- well.”
- Nicole Scales, Manager, Talent Acquisition, T-Mobile
"As the Special Events VP for Macy's, I relied on Kimberly to
solicit press for our events in the Pacific Northwest Region. She has
successfully garnered literally thousands of press stories through the
years, both in print and broadcast. She is a consummate PR professional
and works with others to ensure their success.”
- Mary Jean Stephens, Regional Director, Special Events/Community Relations, Macy’s
"Kimberly was an outstanding member of the
training team. She
developed the Stores Executive Training Program, including the
subject-matter-expert training staff, the curriculum design and
components, and the business partnerships necessary to promote and
sustain its success.
Kimberly gained the respect of senior and store management because of her training and content expertise, her
attention to organizational detail, and her excellent interpersonal
skills. I
have
the highest respect for her professionalism, brilliance, and personal
grace.”
- Linda Russell-Callecod, Partner, The Effectiveness Institute

- Tom Polich, Vice President, Capital Projects/Store Planning, Macy's
“Kimberly is a committed, professional leader and business partner. She
is a creative and candid communicator, exceptional listener and
collaborative team member. Kimberly has vision for the future and can
build strategies and deliver results without getting pulled off
message.”
- Jackie Robinette, Corporate Development, Utah Festival Opera Company
“Kimberly listening skills, thoughtfulness, and empathy make her an
outstanding communicator. She is action oriented, with a high sense of
urgency; when presented with complicated issues, she distills down to
the most important points, and acts decisively to accomplish goals. She
is also a wonderful person, and would be a great asset to any organization."
