Known for her contributions to new musicals, Kim has developed and starred in some of the American theater’s most anticipated world premieres in recent memory, including her “invigorating” Broadway debut in Shaina Taub’s SUFFS (Metro Weekly). As a screenwriter and director, her short film GLORIA made its world premiere at the 2025 Tribeca Festival and won both the Narrative Short Jury Award and the Audience Award at the Austin Asian American Film Festival.

Her film and TV work includes “East New York” (CBS), “WeCrashed” (Apple TV+), the final season of “New Amsterdam” (NBC), and “Call Jane,” opposite Elizabeth Banks, as well a current national spot for Poshmark.
