Kimberly
is an actress and athlete of primarily Chinese, Spanish,
and Native descent. She is a “melting pot” of flavors - a “china latina” and plays upon every ingredient. Born in
Washington, D.C. and raised in Maryland, she believes that
balance and focus are keys to life. She is just as
committed to practicing sense memory, tai chi, and yoga,
as she is to pounding on her heavy bag and focus mitts.
She has an extensive background in martial arts, combat,
and weaponry, and has trained with acclaimed stuntman Dave
Lea to adapt those skills to film.
A
quality quickly recognized in Kimberly is her
unconquerable spirit; as she comes from a long line of
warriors and is passionate about everything she does. It
is the same spirit that drove her to be the only girl to
play on the boy’s soccer team in high school and to later
compete at the NCAA Division 1 level, on the women’s team
at the University of Maryland. It is that same spirit that
earned her scholar-athlete awards in college, graduating
cum laude with a Bachelors Degree in Criminal Justice,
initially intent on law school. Her passion for acting was
sparked in theater classes in high school and college, but
was fully ignited when she was whisked away to Los Angeles
after graduation for a corporate position. She left a
lucrative career in the corporate world to take the
plunge, follow her bliss, and fill her soul, diving into
her training.
It is that same spirit that landed her roles in television
and film. She was cast and directed by Clint Eastwood in
Best Picture Million Dollar Baby, as one of Hilary Swank’s
opponents. She recently completed a lead role in the
feature film Shut Up and Shoot, where she had the
opportunity to work with talented actors Joe Cortese, John
Savage, Daniel Baldwin, Gary Busey, and James Russo.
Kimberly had a starring role in Day of Miracles, a
docudrama that shares stories of the miracle survivors of
the 9/11 terrorist attack on the Twin Towers. On the small
screen you can catch her playing regularly on GSN’s Extreme Dodgeball. Ironically, she made a guest appearance
in episodes of The Young and the Restless as a police
officer, utilizing her criminal justice background. Along
her journey she has also appeared on Good Morning America
and The Best Damn Sports Show Period.
Kimberly
is a talent whose dream is to share her blessings, to be
of service, and to help make the world a better place. She
is as comfortable in front of the camera as she is working
with children and others in need. The human experience of
acting is what makes her tick. She is a talent who is
willing to push boundaries, enjoy the adrenaline, and
savor each and every moment of the ride. |
