Her company, Enchanted Flute Productions, offers exquisite chamber ensembles for corporate and private parties, weddings and celebrations as well as concert performances.

Kimberley also enjoys teaching students of all ages and levels, maintaining active flute studios in Oak Harbor and Mount Vernon.
