​Kim's essay, "The Saving Grace of Spring Rolls," appears in The Refresh Weekly: "When my mother wasn't in my life, I tried to make her spring rolls on my own. I would try to make something tangible out of something illusory, to prove that what we had was real." 

Recent science and medical pieces include Kim's essay, "The Perfume of the Dying," which has been published in Ars Medica: A Journal of Medicine, The Arts, and Humanities, and a story on The Clock of the Long Now, a 10,000-year clock, for Redshift. 

Your Teen magazine has published Kim's articles on family mantras and a piece on squeaky-wheel kids. 

Virginia Living magazine recently published two of Kim's stories--one about Shenandoah National Park's 500 Mile Club and another about the Eden Center, a hub of Vietnamese food and culture in northern Virginia.  

Kim appears in a short video produced by WETA (PBS), called "Finding My Mother, Finding Myself," about her quest to better understand her own Vietnamese heritage. 

Kim's personal essay "Mary's Rock" appears in Roar: True Tales of Women Warriors, now available in print on Amazon and BN.com (and in Kindle format on Amazon). Book sales benefit the National Network to End Domestic Violence.
