Kimberly Brady

Kimberly has a passion for people and is personally committed to being of service to others, contributing to their success, and helping improve her community.

Growing up in a family of educators nurtured Kimberly’s belief that having access to post-secondary education affords people greater opportunities for success in life. She is acutely aware that due to certain adversities and barriers, not all are equipped with the tools and resources necessary to pursue and attain a college degree. This knowledge fuels her passion for helping students with personal development and creating opportunities that will help them reach their goals.

"You can do anything you want, so long as you can deal with the consequences." Dr. Thomas Brady, Sr. (my grandfather)
Why I chose this quote:
I chose this quote because it has been my guiding light. My grandfather taught me this through many anecdotal stories at a very young age. It was meant to spur critical thinking on my part and to make sure that I fully analyzed all angles of what I was going to do before I made a decision to proceed. I have also instilled this in my daughter.
