About Kimberly Garcia
The only time you are growing is when you’re uncomfortable. This is something that the 30th president of the United States Calvin Coolidge acknowledged, and a principle that I aim to follow. Overcoming hesitation, taking risks and accepting the challenge in front of me, through the discomfort, I have become an individual who can creatively solve problems.This guiding principle is what led me to decide to live in a country 6,248 miles from home — A place where I did not speak the language or understand the culture. Although it was one of the most difficult challenges that I have faced and even doing daily tasks such as shopping or asking for directions was made that much more difficult, it was also one of the biggest growth opportunities that I have had in life. It is something that has made me confident in myself and allowed me the freedom to push past constraints. This experience gave me not only self-assurance but self-reliance. This growth allowed me to become a creative thinker and leader in the workspace. As a teacher in Beijing, I was given the opportunity to plan events for students and parents but had to do so in a way that created clear communication despite the language barrier. This led me to not being afraid to ask for help when needed, but also challenged me to think outside of the box and create a way in which the parents, children and staff could understand the differences in culture. This Included creating monthly language learning seminars for both students and parents, hosting a total of over 70 participants per event. With this experience I learned to step out of my comfort zones and experiment with different tactics in order to get results. I enjoy meeting new people and passing time with a cup of coffee and good conversation. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to chat.
