PERSONAL
Born in San Ramon, California. Parents are Matthew and Suzanne Kim. Proudest personal accomplishment took place when she built houses in Mexico with her church group during spring break. Just missed qualifying for the U.S. Women's Open in 2014, finishing fourth at sectional qualifying.
When Kim is not playing or practicing, she enjoys playing the piano, watching movies, and spending time with family and friends. She loves to cook for her loved ones and bakes a mean chocolate chip cookie.
Title of her autobiography would be "Yoo need to hear about Yoonhee"... Take away everything but "My boots! I love boots!"
