Kim Oliver

Administrative Assistant


Kim serves as the Administrative Assistant for the Marriage and Family Therapy Department at Eastern University. She brings a wealth of experience, having worked at Esperanza College (a branch campus of Eastern University) for 13 years before moving to the St. Davids campus in 2017.

While her educational background is in Hospitality, Travel, and Tourism, Kim has skillfully applied her diverse, transferrable skills to her work at the university.  She has organized several women’s retreats for both her church and the college.  She has also scheduled team-building retreats for her department.  Kim has served as a guest speaker for various retreats and workshops.  She organized in-person events to motivate her teams, and since switching to a fully online department, she has learned how to successfully host online holiday parties for faculty and students.

Kim loves interacting with both professors and students, finding the greatest fulfillment in celebrating student accomplishments. A highlight of her role is creating the formal announcements for students ready to defend their dissertations or schedule their symposiums, allowing her to personally share in their academic milestones.
