Rise to Fame
Kimberley harbored a keen interest in theater since childhood. She would participate in school plays but learned the craft after she graduated high school. She began her journey as an actor in Seattle, where she actively did theater for a while and worked with some great talents. Kimberley did several original plays with Lewis Black for the 'Rep.' Simultaneously, Kimberley worked at 'The Cheesecake Factory' to earn extra money. She also featured in many ‘Broadway’ productions, such as ‘Boeing-Boeing’ at Vancouver’s 'Arts Club' and 'One Slight Hitch' at 'A Contemporary Theatre' in Seattle.
Kimberley’s career transformed when her manager recommended her name to actor-screenwriter Andy Tennant. She bagged a role as a series regular, but unfortunately, the show got canceled. However, it ended up being a TV movie named ‘Thunderballs’. It featured Kimberley as ‘Nikki.’ She had already featured in a short titled 'Live Henry Live' in 2009. ‘Thunderballs’ brought her enough money, and she realized that as an actor, she should be open to different platforms to survive. Soon, Kimberley began scouting for film roles and got an agent in Vancouver. In 2012, she got the recurring role of ‘Brooke Cross’ in the Canadian–British science fiction 'Primeval: New World.' That year, Kimberley appeared in four more shows, 'Alcatraz,' 'A Bride for Christmas,' and 'Supernatural.' In 2013, she appeared in the police-procedural drama series 'Motive’ and the Canadian science fiction 'Continuum.' She also featured in the superhero comics video 'Super Buddies’ from the 'Air Buddies' franchise.
Kimberley’s career transitioned from TV to films with the Canadian drama 'Down River.' She also starred in the TV movie 'Baby Sellers' (based on child trafficking). She continued working on TV and made appearances in series such as 'Witches of East End,' 'The Nine Lives of Christmas,' 'Spooksville,' and 'A Bit of Bad Luck.' Kimberley had a recurring role (10 episodes, from 2015 to 2016) as ‘Kelly Hadler’ in the Canadian spy thriller series 'The Romeo Section.' Some of the other movies that Kimberley has starred in are 'All Things Valentine' (2016), 'Hearts of Christmas' (2016), 'Walking the Dog' (2017), 'The Real Stephen Blatt' (2017), 'Cooking with Love' (2018), 'Past Malice: An Emma Fielding Mystery' (2018), and 'Traveler' (2018). In 2019, Kimberley appeared in four episodes of the miniseries 'Unspeakable.'
