Kim

Meet Kim, our Volunteer of the Month for March! Kim started volunteering in October 2019 and has contributed more than 250 hours to the animals over their 4 years of volunteer service with Greenhill. Kim currently volunteers with our Dog Enrichment Program and has previously given their time as a central laundry volunteer and kennel aide. In addition to all the ways they support Greenhill, Kim is also an expert on local recycling as a Lane County Master Recycler who helps educate community members on how to reduce waste and recycle correctly. 

Kim grew up in Ontario, Oregon, and moved to Eugene in 2010 to pursue a degree in Spanish and Communications at the University of Oregon. They then went on to work as a Language and Cultural Ambassador for the Ministry of Education in Madrid, Spain, before returning to their alma mater in their current position of Academic Program Coordinator. 

Volunteering at Greenhill has given Kim the opportunity to contribute to a solution while building their own dog training and handling skills. They share that they love getting to be “the best part of a dog’s day. Knowing that I’m helping a dog feel more comfortable in what can be a stressful environment gives me a great sense of purpose.” 

Kim currently has two dogs at home, Zeppelin and Prince, who are Greenhill graduates—though they fall in love with pretty much every dog they meet during their volunteer shifts. They admit, “I have almost adopted many, many dogs. So far, I have only adopted two, but three always feels right around the corner.” 

In their spare time, Kim is a big Oregon Ducks and Portland Trailblazers fan who loves watching and playing sports. They play on both a softball and tackle football team. Even when not playing sports, Kim continues to lead an active lifestyle as they enjoy going on outdoor adventures with their wife and dogs.
