During her law school years, Kim returned every summer to Texas, continuing her work in the legal field, gaining hands on, everyday experience and knowledge of the inner workings of the legal system. Kim also obtained further experience and valuable skills working for Miami-based attorneys during her last two years of law school; first working representing plaintiffs with personal injury lawyer Justin Ziegler and then working on contract cases against insurance companies, with the Law Office of Stuart L. Koenigsberg. While attending law school, Kim was an active member of the Hispanic Law Student Association and served as secretary. She also obtained her Guardian Ad Litem certificate to work as a representative for abused and neglected children in the Miami-Dade County system of Florida and she also participated in various H.O.P.E. (Helping Others through ProBono Efforts) projects—with her favorite project being working every year during tax season preparing taxes for low-income families and older individuals. During law school, Kim also earned honors in litigation skills, where she received one-on-one trial skill instruction from practicing attorneys, judges and professors as well as practice using those same skills.

Kim proficiently speaks, reads and writes Spanish and actively represents clients who speak Spanish.
