Dr. Kimberly R. Hudson, a North Carolina native, was invited to speak in Madrid, Spain this summer at the International Education and New Development Conference.  Dr. Hudson will speak on her dissertation “Student Perception of NCATE Teaching Dispositions.” She completed her Doctor of Education, Educational Leadership, Administration, and Policy Degree at Pepperdine University at Los Angeles in 2012.
Dr. Hudson’s public education started in the Stony Knoll Child Development Center and Mill Spring Elementary School in Polk County, North Carolina. Kim graduated from Garinger High School in Charlotte. She completed her Bachelor’s of Science Degree at Winston-Salem State University. After graduating she went on to earn her Cytotechnology certification from UNC Chapel Hill.
In 1999, Dr. Hudson earned a double Master’s Degree from Pfeiffer University, Charlotte, N.C. She went on to earn a Master’s of Education Administration from Gardner Webb University.
Dr. Hudson currently resides in California. She appreciates her public school training with all the great teachers that spent time teaching her in the public schools of North Carolina but especially gives credit to her mother, Corria Thompson who is a retired teacher and was her teacher in the fifth grade. She lives by the creed, “the race is not given to the swift nor the strong but the one’s who endure till the end.”
