About Kim Burns (she/her)
Learner * Coach * Higher Education Professional
I help professionals do their best work through values-based coaching. I work with clients to gain clarity on values with the goal of increasing confidence and designing an aligned life.
My passion for learning began at age 3 when I asked my mom if I could go to writing school. Since then, I have found that working in higher education is a legitimate way to never leave school. As a higher education professional, I am passionate about creating positive learning experiences and environments that lead to trust and psychological safety.
I am a proud product of public education. I earned my BA in psychology at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, an MA in Community/Social Psychology at the University of Massachusetts Lowell, and an EdD in Higher Education Administration at the University of Massachusetts Boston.
My core values are:
- Learning
- Renewal
- Connections
- Creativity
- Integrity
- Social Justice
