A Penn State Nittany Lion at heart, Kim Williams is a proud alum with a degree in Rehabilitation Education in 1994.

Kim has been an organized, resourceful, and dynamic person in the world of evidence-based prevention program implementation since 2001. Her skills and experience translate into a variety of settings including the local non-profit, university research center, statewide organizational strategy, and international training and support. Kim is an accomplished resource and training developer, public speaker, and confidently interacts with multiple levels of people in a professional and engaging manner.

Kim’s reputation for excellence comes from her attention to detail, strategic thinking, and utilization of research based best practices to train and guide schools and organizations in their evidence-based prevention program implementations.

Leading the education program team for Frameworks of Tampa Bay, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting social emotional learning for youth in Tampa Bay area, Kim directed efforts to provide evidence-based social and emotional learning and widen the organization’s reach and impact. In three years, a shift in service delivery to training and coaching support and using evidence-based best practices increased the organization’s youth served from 1,800 to 32,000.
