Kimberly is eager to help folks solve problems. She aims to build a practice servicing clients in privacy, cybersecurity, business, entertainment, and intellectual property. With work experience as a full-stack software engineer, copywriter and marketer, content creator, barista, background actor, and LexisNexis 2024/2025 Law Student Associate, Kimberly has a diverse range of experiences that inform her perspective.
