Poudre School District is excited to introduce two dedicated leaders stepping into roles that support educator development and staff well-being.
Kim Tymkowych Named Director of Professional Learning & Educator Effectiveness
Kim Tymkowych joins PSD as the new Director of Professional Learning & Educator Effectiveness, bringing more than 22 years of experience in education. Her career spans roles as a classroom teacher, instructional coach, assistant principal, and, for the past 12 years, a principal. At every level, Kim has demonstrated a strong commitment to continuous growth—for herself, her colleagues, and the students she serves.
Driven by a passion for professional learning, Kim seeks out opportunities to expand her own knowledge and is equally enthusiastic about supporting others in their development. She values collaboration and believes that meaningful growth happens when educators learn with and from each other.
“I’m excited to build strong relationships, learn from new colleagues, and contribute to the ongoing success of students and staff across PSD,” Kim shared.
Dr. Renee Gilkey to Lead Employee Assistance Services
We are proud to announce that Dr. Renee Gilkey has been named PSD’s new Manager of Employee Assistance Services (EAS). Dr. Gilkey served as a compassionate and trusted Counselor/Consultant on our EAS team for the past 3½ years with deep commitment to staff wellness. As a licensed psychologist with expertise in trauma-informed care, Dr. Gilkey brings a relational, integrative, and culturally responsive approach to her work. Her passion for supporting individuals navigating stress, anxiety, grief, and identity challenges has made a meaningful impact across our district.
Dr. Gilkey’s transition into this leadership role is a natural one. She knows our people, our values, and our mission. Her strong clinical background, combined with her heart for service, will ensure EAS continues to be a trusted source of support while evolving to meet the changing needs of our incredible PSD staff.
Please join us in welcoming Kim Tymkowych and congratulating Dr. Renee Gilkey as they begin their new roles serving PSD staff and educators.
