Amb. Dr. Kimberly’s life work, mission and sustainability development goals has been eradicating poverty. Born and raised in the USA Brooklyn, New York alongside three siblings, her desire from youth was to overcome poverty by fulfilling her dreams of entrepreneurship to create wealth and leave a legacy.

Her journey began in Corporate America aftergraduating high school and obtaining her first employment opportunity on Wall Street in the financial district working for C-Suite Executives as an Executive Assistant. She worked for several Fortune 500 Companies such as Merrill Lynch, Shearson Lehman Brothers and American Express. It was in here, in the financial mecca of the United States and, arguably, the world, that Kimberly was introduced to the financial industry. Ambassador Dr. Kimberly obtained strategy and insight into business and financial systems. After years of working in Corporate America she later married and relocated from Brooklyn, New York, to the Suburbs of Long Island, New York, to fulfill the American dream of homeownership. Alongside her former husband, they were the first African American family to ever have a home built in this predominately Caucasian community.

After years of working in Corporate America, Kimberly was later called to leave her job to begin her first ministry assignment as a full-time stay-at-home mom to raise her two children. This was a rewarding but financially challenging time in her life. During her financial pit experience she sought the Lord for direction and clarity. This is where she discovered her purpose through the life of Joseph and where she answered her ministry call of leaving the workplace to pursue her dreams of entrepreneurship.
