Meet Kim

by Kim Arrington Johnson

Kim Arrington Johnson is a researcher and writer with a diverse background, who likes nothing more than to learn about stuff and share ideas with friends and family.

When it was time to update her two books, The Parent’s Pocket Checklist: An Essential Guide to Pregnancy and The Parent’s Pocket Checklist: An Essential Guide to Baby, she decided that downloading a $60 WordPress Theme was a pretty efficient way to share her research (and collective advice from a lot of thoughtful parents) while learning more with a DIY website.

Inspiration for UPKiQ Content

While Kim is still passionate about these two groups and her books, she has also matured and wants to explore more. With UPKiQ, Kim wants to be a force for good and a positive voice online, encouraging readers and lifting them up with knowledge and human interest stories that matter. Kim wants to use technology to connect people and good ideas, and her hope is that UPKiQ will be a place where scrolling is time well spent. There is so much to learn about our health, our families, and the world around us.

So thank you for visiting UPKiQ! I am looking forward to hearing your good ideas and building a place of quality content with you.

Love, Kim
