Kimberly Moran

k. a. moran is a poet whose work explores grief, healing, identity, and the lasting impact of emotional abuse. Through deeply personal yet widely relatable poetry, she writes for anyone who has questioned their worth, mourned the loss of the childhood they deserved, or searched for the courage to become themselves.

Before pursuing her passion for writing, Kimberly built a successful career in science. Her analytical background now complements her creative voice, allowing her to examine complex emotions with honesty, clarity, and compassion.

Her debut collection, Where I Go From Here, follows the five stages of grief as they relate to losing the parent one wished they had and finding the person who remains. Kimberly hopes her writing reminds readers that healing is rarely linear, but it is always possible.

She lives in Colorado Springs, Colorado, with her husband, daughter, and two dogs. When she's not writing, she enjoys journaling, reading, and encouraging others to embrace their stories.
