Hi, I’m Kimberlee!

I am a Queer woman in my 30s who strives to start each day with the best cup of tea (milk and sugar, please!). I love a good story—whether it's a TikTok, a movie, a book, or something shared by one of my patients.

​

I love to create, mostly baking, quilting, and cross-stitching; I'm not an expert at any of it, but it feeds my soul. So does writing.

​​

I serve as a hospital chaplain in Minneapolis, Minnesota, having previously served as an associate pastor and a hospice chaplain. In my work, I focus on birth, oncology, the intersection of the two, and caring for our world-class staff. I also provide on-call coverage for the rest of our hospital that includes neuro and cardiac ICUs and inpatient mental health.

 

I hold a Master of Divinity from Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary, a Master of Arts in Speech Communication (emphasis in Health Communication) from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, and a Bachelor of Arts in Speech Communication and Public Relations from Webster University.
