[5][6] Kim earned a bachelor's and master's degree from the Juilliard School studying with Sylvia Rosenberg and Ronald Copes.
[10][11] She accepted the position of assistant professor of violin at the University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre & Dance in January 2020.
[12] In 2019 Kim released a CD titled “1939” with the Munich Symphony and Kevin John Edusei which includes concertos by Béla Bartók, Karl Amadeus Hartmann, and William Walton all composed in the year 1939.
Matthew Rye, former chief sub-editor of BBC Music Magazine and a reviewer for The Strad, said of the recording, "Kim gives a heartfelt performance that taps its emotions as much as it exploits its unashamed playfulness, and again there’s vigorous, characterful orchestral support.
"[13] The same year, the orchestra and Kim continued their collaboration with a tour to South Korea where she performed Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto.
