About Kimberly

I'm a Midwest-born, Brooklyn-based audio and video producer. Prior to embarking on a media career, I worked as a media studies, music, and yoga teacher in London before studying mental health counseling in Chicago. Music, mental health, and yoga are often topics in my work, and I love to experiment with both audio and visual storytelling. I am currently pursuing an MFA in Integrated Media Arts at Hunter College, CUNY, and recently completed the competitive Made in NY Podcast Certificate Program sponsored by the Mayor's Office of Media and Entertainment. I love getting my hands dirty with story and audio editing, and I'm hoping to dig deeper into sound design, mixing, and implementing scoring. I have experience in operating audio and visual recording equipment, and love working as part of a team. I hold dual citizenship for the US and the UK.
