Kimberly Elsham, Neighbor

Kim's been writing and reporting for 10 years. A true Midwesterner from Iowa and Kansas, she came to Chicago for an internship at Chicago magazine in 2004, which she loved. Since then, she's continued to write in various capacities: freelancing for local press, covering French companies during her six-year stint at the French Trade Commission (yes, she speaks French!), and helping with the Windy City Rollers' media relations operations. Kim is working on her Master's degree in journalism at the Medill School at Northwestern University.
