About Kimberly
"Kimberly has led business development and key projects including an award inning mobile app and coaching program for Aged care. She has developed several businesses across her lifetime and worked in key organisational change projects at organisations like GE and Westpac. She presently runs several small businesses of her own.
Kimberly has spoken at Diversity Council Australia (DCA) Seminars on gender diversity (women in leadership), has spoken at several conferences and universities on gender diversity, all with fabulous unsolicited feedback. She has provided thought leadership on many diversity topics and has been a subject matter expert on the Rainbow Tick accreditation (LGBTI Inclusive Service Provision) and the inclusion of transgender and gender diverse people within the workforce. She has insights that would be hard to attribute to others on gender diversity having worked and conversed much of her adult life presenting as male and then experiencing the loss of privilege, power (for want of a better word) as a female – her understanding of gender privilege, power and micro aggressions is incredibly compelling and adds significant weight to many diversity arguments. Her most significant work has been on the inclusion of transgender and gender diverse people within the recruitment process and her work on LGBTI inclusive service provision for Health & Wellbeing service providers. She is a fabulous speaker and facilitator."
Kimberly was awarded the 2018 AWEI Sapphire Inspire Award for excellence in LGBTI inclusion by a lesbian, bisexual or trans woman.
