Kimberly Marshall – Profiles in Mentoring

Kim Marshall felt called to become a mentor when she learned there was a waiting list and it’s hard to believe that it was 8 years ago she was matched with Naomi. She says that her relationship with Naomi has impacted her own life by providing her with a priceless perspective and a deeper sense of purpose. Kim has worked in the schools, and currently works with Alan Price at Edward Jones, as well as being Mom to two busy kids and a wife to Josh. Those things have not stopped her from directly investing in the future of her community in a huge, positive way.

When asked if she believes that her time and energy is making an impact, Kim exclaims “Yes! When I tell her that she is loved and that she matters, she believes me now.” Kim has seen positive changes in her kid “in all directions” and those changes have come through loving Naomi unconditionally through every phase of that 8 years. It’s not always easy, but it’s well worth it. “You will be the one who gets blessed,” Kim promises.
