Prior to her work at Travis AFB, Kimiye worked as a consultant for over 30 years where she went from a staff level engineer to task leader/project manager for cleanup projects, where she was fortunate to get hands-on experience in the investigation, remediation, and closeout of groundwater and soil remediation projects for clients such as the Air Force and State of California.

Kimiye resides in Fair Oaks where she lives with her husband. She enjoys learning and participating in a few of the Japanese arts (e.g., iaido (sword work) and dance), good martial arts and action flicks (e.g., Iron Man), and learning about the workings of the body and brain together.
