BIO

Known for her contributions to new works, Kim has developed and starred in some of the American theater’s most anticipated world premieres in recent memory, including Dave Malloy’s award-winning Off-Broadway hit OCTET, for which the company received the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Ensemble. This spring, she makes her “invigorating” Broadway debut as suffragist and labor organizer Ruza Wenclawska in Shaina Taub’s SUFFS (Metro Weekly).



For her “standout” performance as the tattoo artist Maud Wagner in Max Vernon & Erin Courtney’s THE TATTOOED LADY, she received a 2023 Barrymore Award nomination for Outstanding Supporting Performance in a Musical (Philadelphia Inquirer).

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. Her directorial debut, “Gloria,” is currently in post-production.

Her voice can be heard on the original cast albums of OCTET and ALICE BY HEART, on Shaina Taub’s 2022 album “Songs of the Great Hill,” and in Liann Kaye’s award-winning miniseries, “The Blessing.”

Kim holds her MFA in Acting from UC San Diego and is a native of Menlo Park, California. Full resume here.
