A recruiter at heart, recommendations are something I do not take lightly. You can be sure that when I do recommend someone, it is only because I can say confidently that I know without a doubt that s/he will not only excel yet exceed expectations. Kim is an extraordinary human being. She is a breath of fresh air and an asset to any company or department she is in. She is an immensely talented creative genius and has the best sense of humor of anyone I've ever met. She has an infectious energy and is incredibly smart.

”I had the opportunity to partner with Kim from 2001 to 2004 in various customer experience initiatives that involved presenting to key sales channel leaders and their teams. The initiatives addressed our business partners' needs for immediate and reliable servicing support to ensure that their customers' and clients' mortgage needs were met. Not only does Kim have terrific presentation skills, she is adept at fostering collaboration with executives across different lines of business while maintaining laser focus on the needs of our customers. Her high degree of poise, confidence, and professionalism are refreshing!

Ms. Kim Thore is a creative, industrious, and advanced marketing professional.  I worked with Ms. Thore at Greensboro College for several years and she always exceeded expectations in her professional productivity.  She was collegial and responsive to the marketing needs of the College.  As the leader of our marketing strategies, she brought the College to a new and significant level of visibility and recognition.  Ms. Thore’s creativity was always expressed in terms of the best interests of the College.  Her judgment about how and where to market the College always brought positive results.  The administrators of the College held her in high regard and were saddened when she left us for another position.  Because she has the spirit of a teacher, she taught all of us a great deal about appropriate marketing.  The College as a whole became a better institution because of her contributions.

For the past 4 years, Kim has been Director of Marketing and Social Media, for my business, Salem Academy of Music. In that time Kim has demonstrated the willingness to go the extra mile to achieve results for my business. My business has grown from 4 to nearly 150 students. I credit Kim for this growth. Kim’s business acumen is second to none and her tireless work ethic is such as I have rarely seen. Her response time to asked for additions or deletions to our marketing plan is instantaneous. I have never had to wait more than a few minutes for her to acknowledge my requests and implement changes.”
