Her mother, Nancy Louise Kopf, was a Pennsylvania Dutch housewife. Kim has an older sister named Lynda Louise Kopf. From an early age, Kim took piano lessons and sang in the church choir. She attended James Madison University, earning a Bachelor of Science degree in film and television production. After graduating, Kim’s first job was assisting Mark Rosenthal on the film "The In Crowd."

Later, Kim moved to Los Angeles, California, to further her career in film and television. She studied acting at Playhouse West under Robert Carnegie and Jeff Goldblum, alongside fellow students such as Ashley Judd, Shawnee Smith, and Christine Cavanaugh.

Her diverse work has been featured at the Cannes Film Festival, HBO Comedy Festival, New York International Independent Film Festival, and Sundance Film Festival.
When her father began showing signs of Alzheimer's, Kim turned to writing as a form of therapy. She wrote, produced, and starred in the web series "Behind the Scenes." She also wrote, produced, and starred in the comedy feature "Searching For Ron Ficus," which explores dating in Los Angeles, and the thriller "Delusional," which features Perry King (The Lords of Flatbush).
