     Kimberly Nevers
    M.S. Special Education
    I am a native of Connecticut and a graduate of Central Connecticut State University. In Connecticut, I taught for fifteen years and had a career in business ten years prior to my teaching tenure. I moved to Murrells Inlet in July, 2017 after vacationing there for many years, and joined the St. James family shortly after. My greatest accomplishment and pride are my two children who are now grown. I love the beach, being outside in nature, traveling to the mountains, or going wherever my motorcycle will take me!
