This is Kim’s seventh mission trip to Haiti. She has volunteered with several NGOs in the past few years since the earthquake. Kim has also helped build a school in Quito Ecuador, set up mini medical clinics in Zimbabwe, and worked with the Red Cross during hurricane Sandy.

A nurse practitioner for over 12 years, she mostly works with cardiac transplant and primary care. Kim now does home visits to the underserved population in NYC. She lives in Queens, NY and has a daughter who is a sophomore at the University of Delaware.

Kim says, “I am looking forward to working with the team and hoping to help the children of Port au Prince.”
