“I had the opportunity to observe her in the casting room and on set, as a director of great skill and confidence but also possessing a quiet understanding of how to make intuitive connections with the actors and later with the crew.

These connections instilled in the cast and crew the desire to be part of Kymberly's team and to put in the best work they were capable of...

I trust her judgment and taste implicitly.

- Kerry Rock · Producer / Casting Director
