me

My name is Kimberly Newman I am a super senior at UVU studying Dance Education with a minor in Health Ed.  Being a dance major I am mostly a kinesthetic learner, I can't just talk about a dance move and be good with it I actually need to use my body. I'm pretty even on every other type of learning though, my lowest is visual.  I'm looking forward to my annual Lake Powell trip this summer in July.
