She attended Wakefield Schools until moving to North Andover where she graduated from North Andover High. Kimberly graduated from Merrimack College with her Bachelors degree of Arts and received her Masters of Education from Rivier College. She started her career at the Upper Room, a Family Resource Center in Derry NH running a program for homeless youth. She ultimately became the Executive Director starting, supporting or growing many programs supporting families, juvenile diversion, parenting classes, a food pantry (started by her mother Anita) and many more programs to help families and children be successful in the community. She wrote grants and found the most unique ways to support these programs that she believed so strongly in.
