Believing that you 'have to give it away to keep it', Kim created TeamActor.com, a private, intensive master class for Sarasota / Tampa Bay area actors, as well as private individualized coaching for on-camera acting technique and the 'business of the business.'
Trained in London and graduated Phi Beta Kappa, Summa Cum Laude from Catholic University's famed Speech and Drama Dept., she is a member of Actor's Equity Association (1983) and SAG/AFTRA (1976).
