Kimberly Horsley

Kim moved to Cox-Meadows in 2018, but was no strangers to the desert heat. She previously lived in Las Vegas, NV and attended UNLV, where she met her husband, Nesley, in 2009. They moved to Arizona in 2017 to be close to family, after a short stint living in Oahu, HI. In Kim’s past life she earned a PhD in Chemistry studying the chemical and electronic properties of solar cells, gained postdoc experience depositing thin film materials for solar cell devices, and got over her fear of public speaking by being a full-time university instructor at Grand Canyon University. In 2020, she jumped ship to take a position at Luke AFB with the Air Force Civil Engineer Center working in environmental restoration. In her free time, she enjoys gardening in our uniquely challenging local climate, exercising, traveling (can you snorkel there?), and spending time with family.

Kim attended her first block watch meeting in the fall of 2018 and quickly became more involved. She recognized the efforts of those that established and built the block watch from the ground up, and the commitment required to keep the block watch going. She has met many neighbors, now friends, through the block watch, while learning about the resources available from the City, elected officials, and the police department. She is drawn to the opportunity to collaborate with all these players to build a safer and more connected neighborhood.
