Kim is currently writing her PhD at the University of Sydney in contemporary American film and has given numerous presentations on this topic. In her spare time, she is co-editor of the journal Philament, and is co-founder and co-curator of The Yeah Sessions. She looks like a child but drinks like a fish.
