Kim began working at Tufts in 2002 after having worked for five years as an elementary school teacher, specializing in fourth grade mathematics, reading and MCAS preparation. After almost 12 years of part time service to the Tufts Community Health Program, she is now the full time Administrative Coordinator for the European Center.  The highlight each year for Kim is getting to know the students before they embark, and then hearing their wonderful stories when they return. In her free time, Kim enjoys spending time with her family and friends, cooking and attending sporting events.
