A famous author once wrote: “Specialization is for insects.” Since the dawn of life, humans have clawed our way to the top of the food chain based on our species’ ability to adapt. In the business world, companies that don’t adapt to changing trends in the marketplace get left behind, and people who don’t adapt similarly fade into obscurity.

But Kim is no ordinary human – she’s a Texan.

Most people who work in professional service businesses specialize in two or three key areas. But Kim is driven to master every aspect of strategic communications, from leading integrated campaigns and managing client relationships to overseeing interactive and creative work.

Surprisingly, Kim’s first passion wasn’t the agency business – it was sports journalism and broadcasting. As a kid, her heroes included Bob Costas and Hannah Storm. Although she is still waiting on that chance to host Sports Center, Kim’s love of sports is evident in her dedication to running, her position as a perennial NCAA bracket winner and avid college football viewer.

Despite attending the fabled University of Wisconsin-Madison, Kim’s work style belies the chaos of State Street on a Friday night. Her commitment to organization, tight deadlines and quality work product ensures the Haberman storytelling standard is upheld on a daily basis.

Like the entire Haberman tribe, Kim wants to change the world. She hopes to encourage people to lead healthier, more tolerant lives by creating fitness initiatives, supporting higher education for all and campaigning to stop waste at retail stores.

Kim is daring like a rodeo cowboy, razor-sharp like barbed wire and steadfast in her loyalty and authority like Sam Houston – and exuding entrepreneurial spirit in all her professional and personal endeavors.  

You can take the girl out of Texas, but nothing (not even the worst Minnesota winters) can take away Kim’s tenacious, independent and chameleon-like approach to media + marketing.

When she’s not dominating the communications business, Kim enjoys the outdoors, running, dining out and hating on The Ohio State University, just like every good Badger should.
