Bringing Smiles to the Workplace
Kim shares that her primary mission is to ensure that everyone feels at home within Promoshop. From managing office supplies to organizing open houses, she is the go-to person for creating a welcoming atmosphere. But it doesn’t stop there—she also curates our beloved themed employee birthday and appreciation kits, the onboarding of new employees, books travel and more!
Uniting a Nationwide Team
Promoshop operates across the country, and Kim’s role extends beyond the office walls. She facilitates on-site and virtual engagements, brings employees together for learning sessions and team-building activities. “Whether it’s an incentive program or a safety initiative, I collaborate with various departments to ensure everyone’s success.”
“Since joining our company, Kim has made us a better organization! Her passion for culture and creative events makes it fun to be at work and keeps us engaged. Thank you, Kim!” – Memo Kahan, CEO
The Art of Event Coordination
Kim finds that one of her most exciting challenges is putting together events or themed kits. The creative process involves brainstorming ideas, bouncing them off colleagues (shoutout to Kate!). Kim would like to emphasize that the joy of receiving thank-you notes from employees of all levels after a successful event makes it all worthwhile.
Empowering Mindset
Kim expresses that “In this role, I’ve discovered that there’s nothing I can’t handle. Challenges are opportunities for growth, and I’ve embraced the mindset that I can tackle anything that comes my way. It helps that Kate Alavez our new president, has believed in me since day one and has trusted me to continue the many programs she started.”
“Kim has a wonderful way of making everyone feel cared for. When I see her name in my inbox, I automatically smile because I know it will be something fun, helpful, or supportive (and oftentimes, all three at once!). I truly admire the way she manages the complexities of her role with such positivity – we are so lucky to work with her!” – Lesley Angelopoulos, Creative Director
A Positive Work Environment
What sets Promoshop apart? According to Kim “It’s the positivity that permeates every corner of our workspace. Gratitude is a daily practice, and we’re down-to-earth—a team that genuinely cares about each other. We’re not just colleagues; we’re a family striving to exceed expectations together.
Disneyland Fun
Outside of work, Kim cherishes her family time. “My Disneyland passes get plenty of use—I try to visit twice a month with my kids & husband.” Adventureland is her favorite! “Painting, swimming with the kids, and date nights with my husband keep life balanced.”
“Kim goes above and beyond to ensure tasks at hand are met to the best of her abilities. Her diligence, professionalism, creativity, and patience are a few of her great virtues. A great asset to the team and a pleasure to work alongside with.” – Abelina Echevarria, Sales Support
