Kim Howe
HR Consultant
(207) 337-9354
"I love assisting companies as they decode the complex world of benefits and leave administration, making these HR processes clearer and more effective. At KMA, I help organizations build programs that support employees, align with business goals, and foster trust. When done right, benefits and leave management becomes a foundation for retention, wellness, and a strong workplace culture."
With over 30 years in Human Resources – and 25 of those focused on benefits and leave of absence (LOA) administration – Kim brings expertise and a personal touch to every client engagement. Her background spans employee relations, performance management, policy development, event planning, and HR tech implementations, making her a versatile and trusted HR consultant.
Kim’s passion is helping companies and employees make sense of their benefits, build wellness programs (that actually work!) and navigate the complexities of LOAs with confidence. She’s worked with clients in media, advertising, and footwear, always bringing empathy, clarity, and practical solutions to the table.
Her unique blend of HR and healthcare knowledge – including a certificate in medical coding and experience in medical precertification customer service – gives her a valuable perspective in benefits strategy and compliance.
Outside of work, Kim is all about wellness, fitness, and creating organized, beautiful spaces. Her passion for home organization and interior design reflects her belief that a well-balanced life starts with thoughtful environments and healthy, positive energy – at home and at work.
