About Me

Kimberly S. Bryant brings her passion for strategic communication and storytelling into the classroom, blending more than 20 years of professional experience with an engaging, hands-on teaching style. As a visiting professor at the School of Journalism & Graphic Communication, she draws on her background in marketing, public relations, and community leadership to create meaningful, real-world learning experiences.

Her teaching philosophy centers on curiosity, collaboration, and creativity. She designs activities that encourage students to think critically, work in teams, and approach problems with both rigor and imagination. A strong advocate for mentorship and service, Kimberly remains actively involved in community outreach and leadership initiatives that mirror the values she models for her students.

At her core, she wants students to leave her courses not just with knowledge, but with confidence, curiosity, and the drive to make a difference.
