Kim was born in the Netherlands and immigrated with her family to Alberta. She has lived in Canada and Holland at various parts in her life. She completed her medical degree at the University of Amsterdam. This is where her love for obstetrics began as she worked with a team of midwives and physicians performing home deliveries, as a large percentage of the population delivers at home. Kim then went on to complete her Family Medicine residency in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Kim, with her European roots, and her spouse, an “Aussie”, spend their spare time travelling the world. Together with their three young boys they have recently settled in South Surrey, where they love the relaxed lifestyle and being close to the water. On her time off she can be found at the beach with her family, camping, kayaking or enjoying company of family and friends. She cherishes her work as part of the Peach Arch Maternity group and also works as a full service Family physician in the community.
