Kim launched her Physical Therapy career in the small town of Carlsbad, New Mexico in July of 1994. Kim specialized in the field of outpatient orthopedics where she worked with many athletic/sports related injuries. It was Kim's relocation to Florida in September of 1995 where Kim discovered her love and passion for weight training and fitness and the true meaning of living a healthy, fit lifestyle. Her competitive bug from her competitive figurskating days came back in the form of the new popular growing arena of fitness competitions for women.

Starting from scratch, with no background experience in this field, Kim's bodyfat was an average 24% at 120 pounds and her main activity was aerobic classes at least 3 - 4 nights a week. Her legs were developed from her past figurskating days but she lacked any kind of muscle tone or strength at all in her upper body. A single push up was difficult for her and she lacked any kind of lower extremity flexibility that was required in these fitness competitions. This did not discourage her however, as she knew if she could write down some goals and a definate plan to achieve these goals she could do whatever she set out to accomplish.

In her very first year of competing, through trial and error, Kim managed to accomplish her first goal in fitness of winning the "Ms. Fitness Florida State Champion" Title in June of 1996. This was only the beginning. From here Kim went on to compete in the obstacle course competitions such as Ms. Galaxy, Lifequest Triple Crown, and The Ironwomen Tri-Fitness Contests. Although these competitions were challenging and she came out on top, her love and passion still remained in performing and entertaining an audience with her dynamic, high energy routines. This again stemmed from her figureskating history of performing in front of arenas filled with people surrounding the ice rink who came to be entertained by these dynamic, high energy routines only in a different form.

After two years of competing and learning the ropes of the fitness competitions and how to come out on top, Kim began to climb higher on her ladder of success with a runner-up placement at the Debbie Kruck Classic in May of 1998. Debbie Kruck has been Kim's mentor and good friend throughout her fitness career, and by guiding her with her years of experience in the industry she has been a motivating force driving Kim up higher on that ladder of success.

In 1999, Kim made a switch in careers to the entertainment industry to star in a TV series that was filmed out of Orlando, FL. The relocation to a bigger center allowed Kim the access to a winning support team that she put together to help her to achieve her next big goal of attaining her Pro Status in Fitness. With much determination and tremendous support Kim came in the best conditioned shape of her life at the USAs in CA in July of 1999,but with extremely stiff competition did not attain her goal, but did crack the top five, ending up in fourth place overall. A week later at the Team Universe in New York City Kim was dissappointed yet again by missing her Pro Card by one point, finishing in third place. Although it was a struggle, Kim has never been one to give up; she had set out a goal for this year and nothing was going to get her down or stop her from achieving it. Two months later, Kim came back, working through a torn rotator cuff muscle injury and victoriously attained her Pro Status in front of a home crowd in Orlando, FL at Nationals (the biggest amateur event of the year no less).

Now at the Professional Fitness Level Kim wants to take the opportunity to share all of her winning secrets from her experiences that will help to motivate and encourage everyone and anyone who has the desire to follow their dreams and accomplish their fitness goals.
