Kim received her Ph.D. in psychology from the University of Connecticut in 1999. She then joined the faculty at Yale University where she remained for 10 years before co-founding Freudigman and Billings. While at Yale, Kim worked within the public school system helping to develop and research effective models for aligning student evaluation with school curriculum. Since co-founding F&B in 2005 she has successfully developed unique and effective approaches to improving both ACT and SAT scores. She currently lives in New Haven CT with her husband Justin, her son Emerick, her 3-year-old Portuguese water dog Lulu, and her two cats, Zoey and Max. In her free time she enjoys cooking, gardening, reading, and World of Warcraft (seriously).
