Kim was born in Chesapeake, VA but has deeper roots in Nigeria. She found her interest in medicine and infectious disease after visiting family abroad. Early on, she equated treating infectious diseases to making people feel better and wanted to be a part of the process. She attended James Madison University where she received her B.S. in Biology and then heading off to the University of Louisville SOM on a scholarship. It was here that her interest in infectious disease intensified and the opportunities to serve international populations were made apparent. She enjoyed working with a refugee resettlement agency to help incoming refugees get acclimated to their new home. She completed her combined internal medicine-pediatrics residency in Greenville, SC. Here, her passion for improving the quality of healthcare in minoritized populations shone through with her strong efforts to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in her residency class in order to improve representation and health outcomes for other BIPOC. She also officially became a JEDI, a recipient of the Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion award for her efforts. She is excited to continue her MedPeds ID training here in Nashville with the intention to continue to serve global and other minoritized populations with an interest in HIV care.
