Her research examines how teachers' questioning practices foster mathematical reasoning, with emphasis on generality requirements in proof, technology-mediated instruction, and the development of collaborative proof-construction frameworks. Recent work explores virtual simulations for preservice teacher training, instructional tensions in geometry classrooms, and leadership roles of elementary mathematics specialists.

Kimberly's publications span topics such as peer critique systems, proof understanding trajectories, and the integration of technology in mathematics education. While no formal awards or student advisement details are listed in the provided data, her work addresses critical gaps in secondary mathematics pedagogy and teacher development.
