Kimberly grew up in Alpharetta, Ga., and graduated from the University of Georgia’s journalism school. She began interning with the Chronicle in spring of 2014 and joined the staff at the end of the year.

She’s shown her off-the-track Thoroughbred Corey in hunters, jumpers and equitation, but has taken a (potentially unwise) interest in eventing since moving to Virginia. She raised dogs for the Guide Dog Foundation in college and adopted her fluffy princess, Wasabi, from the program.
