Who I am
My name is special because I kept my original last name Cleary as my middle name and my last name is Stine from my husband.
The Cleary name is Irish and means descendant of the clerk. This means they were poets, clerks and clergy.
My first name is Kimberly which I prefer but I go by Kym. This is because there were 3 Kimberlys in my 4th grade class. To make things more simple we all adopted a name. One was Kim, one was Kimberly and I was Kym. Most of my life I have either been called "Cleary" or "Stine" and not by my first name.
Where I come from
I was born in Utica, New York. I have lived in New York, Virginia, Germany, Illinois, Texas, Kansas, Hawaii and Switzerland. I currently live in Ithaca, New York.
I have 4 sisters and 3 brothers. I love my large, loud and loving family! I live with my husband Jeff, daughter Lily and our two dogs Murphy and Molly.
Things I like
Favorite thing to do when not in school is to travel and explore new places.
