This work allowed her to investigate communities noted for their sustainability and livability.
Prior to her fellowship, Kim served in the Minnesota House of Representatives, representing District 25B. During her 10 years as a legislator, Kim introduced many pieces of significant legislation including the Destination Medical Center (DMC) economic development project aimed at positioning Rochester as a premier location for healthcare.
