Kimberly Strickland, Membership Officer
Kimberly is a Life Member of American Mensa and, in addition to serving on the AMC, has served as membership officer and ombudsperson for Northern New Jersey Mensa. She is a 2024 recipient of an American Mensa National Service Award.
Professionally, Kimberly has spent her career in pharmaceuticals, developing and implementing patient support programs and launching new therapies for cancers and rare diseases. She currently works at a public benefit corporation securing patient access to life-saving pulmonary arterial hypertension medications and facilitating organ remediation and transplantation.
Affectionately known as Dr. K in certain circles, Kimberly’s doctoral research was on patient attitudes concerning Factor VIII treatments for Hemophilia A. Be forewarned, she will talk about this at length if you let her. In addition, she holds an MBA in marketing and an MS in technology management. Dr. K currently moonlights as an adjunct Assistant Professor, teaching global marketing to international MBA students.
In whatever spare time remains, Kimberly also facilitates workshops on topics such as leadership development, technology in the classroom, virtual engagement, and marketing failures -- a crowd favorite. In terms of public service, she has volunteered teaching science through demonstrations to children (and children at heart), helping job seekers on the autism spectrum refine their resumes and interviewing skills, fundraising for bleeding disorder foundations, and transcribing Space Shuttle Operations notebooks for the Smithsonian.
Kimberly lives in New Jersey with her internet semi-famous cat, Beans.
