Background

After graduating from Virginia Tech, Kim joined the Teaching and Research Animal Care Support Service unit within the College of Veterinary Medicine.  While there, she held a variety of roles that developed her experience with project and facility management, program development, Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) protocol compliance, and training of animal care and research staff.  She also worked with a variety of laboratory and agricultural animal species used for teaching and research, with a heavy emphasis on gnotobiotic swine.

Her experience working in different environments with a variety of species using IACUC protocols makes her a great addition to the Animal Care and Use Program.
