Kim has been a freelance court stenographer for over 28 years. She started her career in Pennsylvania after obtaining her degree from Penn Highlands Community College in 1997. Kim was the second student to sign up at the new college, and was featured in a few news articles and also appeared in a TV commercial for the college. She initially worked for a state-wide Pennsylvania firm and then transitioned to freelance reporting for a few years until moving her family to the Roanoke area of Virginia in 2004 and worked with Pierce Reporting Company. Around 2007 she then relocated to the Charlottesville area and worked with Cavalier Reporting for many years. ​​Kim has always covered high-end deposition and trial work throughout Virginia, including NoVa and D.C. Kim started Elite Realtime & Deposition Reporting in 2013 in Charlottesville, Virginia, and in 2017 merged her clients and expertise into Halasz Reporting & Videoconference, located in Richmond, Virginia, and has since established many more distinct and wonderful client relationships. ​​
