Kimberly is the founder and CEO of The GOLD Beacon, PLLC, a small business developing sustainable nonprofits nationwide. She first came to San Angelo in 2010 as a Naval Intelligence Student at Goodfellow Air Force Base and knew she wanted to return and made it one of her primary goals in the Navy. In 2015 Kimberly returned and became an instructor supervisor of that same course. Rather than transfer again and risk not being able to adopt her daughters, she decided to stay here in San Angelo. In 2018, after ten years of active-duty service, she honorably separated from the Navy, received her Master’s Degree in Social Work from the University of Southern California, and focused her career on promoting social change. She combined her passion for exponentially helping populations with her project management skills and founded The GOLD Beacon. 

​

Specializing in sexual assault prevention and response, Kimberly trains on the public health approach to the primary prevention of interpersonal violence. As a licensed social worker, violence survivor, and disabled veteran, Kimberly advocates for accessibility, inclusivity, and empowerment.

She is the mother of three amazing kids, Kade, Jasmine, and Jacee. You will also see her around town with Daisy, her service dog.
