Her Love of Places
Raised in a ski town in beautiful British Columbia, Canada (which will always have a piece of her heart), Kimberley is keenly aware that development of any kind needs to not only make economic sense, but benefit local communities, nurture the environment, and retain the character that makes places and landscapes special. Her professional interests are directly linked to a personal love of travel, which has led to participation in numerous tourism-related initiatives. When not on the road, Kimberley can be found in either the Kootenays or her adopted home of Portland, OR.
