Kim’s passion for mentorship is deeply rooted in her lived experience. Having walked through many chapters—some challenging, some triumphant—she brings a rare depth of relatability that instantly connects with the next generation of entrepreneurs. Her journey has shaped her into a guide who doesn't just coach from theory, but from truth. It’s this authenticity that makes her a standout mentor across Ontario’s non-profit ecosystem.
Kim doesn’t believe in forcing people into molds. Instead, she meets each mentee exactly where they are, honouring their starting point and helping shape them into who they want to become. With a diverse career portfolio that spans branding, business, entertainment, and community development, she’s able to work fluidly with any kind of venture—pivoting, adapting, and supporting with unmatched care and clarity.
Currently, Kim serves as the dedicated one-on-one mentor for the AWA Business Hub & Business Incubator Program at Delta Family Resource Center. In Tier 2 – Part 2, she provides six months of highly personalized, weekly virtual coaching to entrepreneurs as they navigate the final phase of their year-long journey.
Her mentorship is designed to meet each participant exactly where they are—addressing unique challenges, clarifying their vision, and building the essential foundations for sustainable success. Kim’s approach is deeply tailored, unpacking the specific needs of each business and crafting actionable next steps that align with their goals.
Areas of focus often include legal business registration, insurance, brand identity development, marketing strategies, and detailed marketing plans. Participants also receive hands-on support with website setup, social media content creation, financing and grant applications, networking opportunities, system and process development, and problem-solving strategies to expand their reach.
Kim’s mission is to ensure that by the end of the program, participants walk away with a strong brand presence, a clear growth plan, and the confidence to take their business to the next level. Known for her personable, approachable style, she brings energy and encouragement to every session—making the process both engaging and empowering for those ready to commit and see it through to the very end.
