Portfolio https://kim3.journoportfolio.com/
My creative career spans three decades including leading a magazine as a contributing editor, writing articles for national magazines, creating marketing materials, blogs, and content for corporations, small businesses, non-profits, agencies, and professional consultants, and ghostwriting books. As an author, I write non-fiction, children's books, and adult fiction under a pseudonym. I also help fellow authors compose and launch their next bestsellers while keeping their blogs and newsletters flowing.
My professional experience includes human resources, executive coaching (PCC), counseling, publishing, learning and development. For 20 years, I’ve had the good fortune to help career professionals realize their true potential and organization leaders drive engagement. I’ve been lucky enough to be interviewed by CNN Business, Moving Forward Podcast, and CDS Podcast, quoted in Entrepreneur Magazine.
I have a Master’s degree (MA) in Industrial and Organizational Psychology, a Bachelor’s (BS) in Business Administration, and "once" a Texas State License for Counseling Psychology. My craft training includes courses and certifications in change management, technical writing, proposal writing, book development, and line editing.
