Kimberly Fudge
Illinois Curriculum Specialist
After completing my Bachelors of Arts Degree in Radio/T.V. Broadcast from Lewis University in IL, where I was a two-sport athlete, I without regret took a career path into sales and never looked back. The majority of my career has been in educational sales with this great company! I really enjoy relationship building and being able to help meet customer needs. I pride myself on positively impacting the customer experience. The reason I enjoy educational sales is because it allows me to help support teachers in making the learning process more effective and enjoyable for students, who are our future. I am honored to be a part of such an important experience: learning and skill building. Having young learners myself now, I can really appreciate the effort put into making quality, engaging and effective resources. I enjoy faith-based activities, trying out new cooking recipes, creative writing, and playing/watching sports with my husband and two sons.
