Producer
and Co-Creator
While in London producing a show for NBC's,
YourLA, Kim found herself looking at an opportunity
to develop an original project. When she worked with host, Maria Warman, Kim quickly
discovered that they shared the same passion for people and the environment. A
few months later, their combined dedication and vision led to the creation of
Go Live Give. In producing Go Live Give, Kim hopes that combining her love for
travel and volunteering will not only inspire those around her but also people
worldwide.
Kim grew up in a small town in Connecticut and
developed a passion for television production. By age 16, she was borrowing cameras
to create her own small independent films, interviewing friends and family wherever
she went. She studied Radio/TV/Film at Marist College in New York where she received
a degree in communication and an even bigger love for producing television. Her
career in production began in NYC where she worked at FOX News. She eventually
moved to Vh1 where she worked on The Fabulous Life and then helped launch the
popular hit series, Best Week Ever. Later she moved on to MTV working on the show,
High School Stories, where she worked in the field traveling throughout the country.
In
2005, Kim traded in her winter coat for a bathing suit and headed to LA. Since
her arrival, she has produced over 50 hours of television as a Field Producer
for NBC's YourLA. Most recently, Kim traveled to Orlando, FL where she produced
a one hour travel episode What You Get for the Money Vacations: Walt Disney World
