She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Economics and Music through the Columbia-Juilliard Joint Program. She spent three years in New York working with the Human Capital Strategy Practice at Mercer Consulting before moving to California for a brief foray into the world of software development as the Senior Manager of Strategic Planning at Struxicon. She returned to the East Coast one year later to pursue an MBA at Harvard Business School.

In 2004 Kim joined Carl Fischer Music as the Director of Corporate Development and soon expanded her role to work also with the Theodore Presser Company.
