Kim, what prompted you to join the Healthy Acadia team?
I've admired this organization for a long time and have wanted to be part of helping people reach their goals.
What most inspires you about Healthy Acadia's work?
Healthy Acadia seeks to provide people with the guidance and tools needed to be successful and prosperous.
What most inspires you on a personal level?
I like to see people being successful when they think they cannot be. I want to be part of that.
What is your favorite thing to do, or place to be, in Maine, and why?
I like to be in nature and enjoy the peace from our natural environment. I feel fortunate to live near lakes and the ocean.
Kim attended Fitchburg State College and Washington County Community College and has served as a Volunteer with Safe Harbor Home for Women and Children, a Healthy Acadia collaboration based in Machias.
Being an older student, I needed to prove to myself that "you can't teach an old dog a new trick" isn't true! I achieved a 4.0 average in my recent study over a period of about 10 months with Washington County Community College, earning a certificate in Substance Use Disorder and Recovery. This, coupled with my Bachelor's Degree and work experience gives me a reason to believe I can be successful in this field.
Kim resides in East Machias.
