“Kimberly is such a professional. She is so organized, and everything she does is planned. I know Kimberly most for her amazing dance work, but she is a great example of someone who worked in the arts, is successful, and is ready to do great work in any field. Creativity. Organization. Great people skills. She’s got ’em.”

“We recently had the opportunity to work with Kimberly Crislip Jarvis as we applied for our company’s nonprofit status. Kimberly was patient, easy to work with, and always willing to take extra time to address our questions and concerns. Her expertise as she guided us through this complex process helped us to complete each step with confidence. We would highly recommend Kimberly as a resource.”
