From her favorite self-care rituals to the advice that’s shaped her journey, get to know Kimberly in our latest Indy Maven Member Spotlight.
My Maven Superpower is…Consistency – I value this in myself and others.
The best book I’ve read lately is…Hollywood, Ending by John Green. Especially fun since he lives in Indianapolis!
Self-care habit I swear by…Writing in a gratitude journal. It refocuses my energy to what and who matters most to me no matter how chaotic a day was.
My first job was…working for the Indianapolis Rowing Center as a boathouse staff member. I primarily sanded and repainted oars, cleaned rowing machines, and made sure rowers had what they needed for a great day on the water.
The best advice I can offer is…To bet on yourself before you bet on someone else. Believe that you can learn something new, step into a role that seems like “too much,” and succeed.
A fun fact about me is…I decided to bicycle across the country when I was 19 and spent 9 weeks traveling 4,000+ miles to raise money for Habitat for Humanity!
A Maven you should know is…Bhavna or Colleen!
I feel most myself when…I feel most myself when I am home with my family. I love the simple moments like cooking together, sitting on our porch talking, or going on family walks.
