Speaker Kimberly Carnevale "The Champion-Builder"

The amazing story that begged to be told...

The Champion Builder ~ Former Olympic hopeful. Current author/speaker, Brain Injury/MS survivor and Champion Over-comer...

Kimberly's accomplishments began as a professional athlete, dreaming of a spot on the United States Equestrian Team in the sport of horse show jumping. A devastating car accident in 1998 ended her career--and life as she'd known it. Using the same tools and faith that had once propelled her to the top of her sport, and then to recover from her accident, Carnevale clawed her way over her seemingly insurmountable obstacles… and back to success.

Kimberly has literally walked the talks she delivers! In order to carve out her own niche of success, Kimberly was forced to relearn how to read, write, walk and talk again, endured and overcame several years of homelessness, learned and created an entirely new career path, and more.

Refusing to succumb to the hardship her disabilities and circumstances imposed upon her, Kimberly created and implemented her Champion-Building strategies in order to successfully re-integrate and succeed in a world that no longer accommodated her special needs.

These are the same tools/strategies she shares with her audiences today in order to build Champions...in business, school, and life. Her insightful observations and compelling "outside the box," success strategies are perceptively demonstrated through her presentation featuring her amazing story; which has been featured on TV, film, magazines, and in Kimberly's books.

Kimberly's name is synonymous for lending insightful assistance to state/county leaders, decision-makers, corporations, and grade school to university students; to become aware of, and be sensitive to, the challenges and barriers which exist for people with hidden disabilities. Being a person with multiple (and largely invisible) disabilities, Kimberly is able to speak both from a business and personal point of view, offering an inside look at what life is like living with life-altering disability challenges.

Some of Kimberly’s past audiences include:
Several schools and universities throughout the nation, The Philadelphia Area Chapter of Meeting Professionals International, the State of New Jersey, Elizabeth M. Boggs Center, Project Freedom, Global B.I.G picnic for Awareness, Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital and more.
