Kimberly David
Talent, learning & evaluation coordinator
What energizes me most about my work and role is fostering an effective and equitable organizational culture. I love that my work is rooted in relationship-building, and I’m an advocate for the arts, believing that creativity is central to creating and framing change.
I believe that we call on many pieces of our identities when we enter a space and that complexity helps enhance our ability to impact the work we do and the people we work with.
Kim is the talent, learning & evaluation coordinator for the Bush Foundation. She leads the operational and administrative work for Bush’s talent, human resources and professional development activities so that staff can be productive, satisfied and effective in their roles.
