On a less formal note, Kim grew up playing April O'Neill, Maid Marion, Wendy, the girl in The Three Ninjas and anything that involved being a pirate. She doesn't know how to answer the question, "Where are you from?" but will cite Michigan (Kalamazoo <3), Arizona and California as three of several places if you ask her. She would like to thank her older brother and the Jeffrey boys for letting her play fierce women from a very young age. She likes bourbon on the rocks, post-show in case you were wondering and is very thankful to her entire tribe of artists and humans for making her, and keeping her who she is.
