Name: Kimberly Connors
Title: US Managing Editor: Parenting & Baby
Years with the Company: 9 months
There’s always random, fun tasks here and there, but I mostly assign articles, manage a team of writers, edit and publish content, and write content for the site.
I’ve been an editor for more than 15 years. I did a similar job for another company prior to Your Baby Club, and when I heard YBC was hiring, I knew it would be a good fit for me.
A great environment! I love everyone I work with. Everyone is so kind, and there’s such a huge importance placed on family coming first, which is what I need because, when I started working here, I’d recently had a baby.
I grew up dancing. I was a dancer first (I even went to a performing arts high school for dance), and a writer second. When I got to college, I couldn’t decide which to pursue, so I did both and got dual degrees.
All of it! But mostly ballet first, and then modern, or contemporary dance. Though I did do a little West African dance over the years and that was fun (and funny), so I have a soft spot for West African as well.
I haven’t! I’ll have to check that out! I watched So You Think You Can Dance for many years, but I eventually stopped because it hurt my heart a little bit to see them performing, knowing I was done with that phase of my life. That and all of the new, younger kids were crazy skilled!
Netflix. When you have a newborn at home, you’re up at all hours of the night and a good binge-worthy show can help.
Yeah, that was a life-changing discovery. I love painting dancers the most. It feels like a new way to dance, it’s just on paper. I also paint a lot of athletes and portraits. I do watercolor paintings, but every now and then I’ll take acrylic and do an abstract painting to sort out my feelings.
Here are some of Kim’s paintings!
From the top floor of a beautiful beachfront home, at a desk in front of a huge window with a clear view overlooking the ocean. It’s a huge room, with a wooden floor and a wall-length mirror for dancing. Is that too specific? Because I think that would be perfect!
A blank sketchbook, my children (this counts as one thing, even though I have two children), and my husband (because he’d be very sad if I didn’t include him … even though flint would be very useful for starting fires).
