Where it all began…

Way back in 2018, Kimberly had a dream. Not a metaphorical dream. A real, fast asleep, middle of the night kind of dream. She was standing in a beautiful room, surrounded by women in business. They were laughing and crying, sharing ideas and stories. Supporting one another through the highs and lows of building something of their own. When she woke up, the feeling stayed.

At the time, SHINE Summit did not exist. But the vision did.

Years later, in the middle of uncertainty, she followed that calling and began building what she had seen, launching the SHINE Summit during the year of the pandemic. What started as an idea rooted in connection slowly grew into something real.

In 2023, five years after that first dream, the very first SHINE Summit officially came to life.

A room full of women.

Just like she had seen.

Since then, SHINE Summit has continued to grow into a community where women come together to learn, connect, and rise. Not just in business, but in confidence, clarity, and courage.

Through every summit and experience, Kimberly brings together her passion for planning meaningful events and her heart for community. Each year, the ripple effects have been extraordinary.

SHINE Summit exists to create those rooms.

The ones where women feel seen.

Where conversations go deeper.

Where growth feels possible.

Where no one has to build alone.

And this is only the beginning.
