About Me

Hi, I'm Kim.

The road to becoming an executive functioning coach has been complex and meandering. Navigating adolescence as a queer, anxious, first-generation Vietnamese American shaped how I see the world—and how I support others. I deeply relate to the confusion, frustration, self-doubt, and search for belonging that often come with being “different.” If you're someone who’s always felt like an outlier, you're not alone. I know how powerful self-compassion, courage, resourcefulness, community, and persistence can be—and I carry those values into every session.

​

Why I coach:
I coach to be the guide I once needed—someone who embraces the messy process of learning and growth. I value curiosity, experimentation, courage, self-compassion, and challenging the status quo, because I believe meaningful learning happens during the process, not just at the outcome.

​

My journey—from late-night barista to study abroad student, teaching assistant, college advisor, professional tutor, and clinical learning specialist—has taught me what becomes possible when we step into the unknown. I also know how hard it can be to be brave when you don’t yet have tools, access, or role models—especially ones who live at the intersections of multiple identities, like I do.

​

Along the way, my background in business gave me a deep appreciation for systems, organization, and financial clarity—not just as skills, but as powerful tools for creating stability, freedom, and flow. I love helping clients make these parts of life feel more aligned, manageable, and energizing.

​

Throughout it all, I’ve been especially drawn to mentoring neurodivergent, queer, and BIPOC adolescents and adults as they harness their unique perspectives and forge their own paths. Coaching gives me the chance to walk my talk, and support others in doing the same.

​

Outside of coaching, I recharge by:
✨ Making joyful messes in the kitchen
📚 Reading 
🎧 Curating playlists 
🧶 Knitting socks
