Kim Cookson What you think, you become. --- Mohandas Ghandi Kim has been in the marketing and sales industry since she was 15. She attended the Ontario College of Art and Design, graduated from Miami Lakes Technical Institute, Academy of Hair Design, CompuCollege School of Business, and Simon Fraser University Book Publishing Immersion Program. From international model, a member of the Academy of Canadian and Radio Television Arts (ACTRA), to various managerial positions with J.C. Penny, Bloomingdales, Simpsons, and the Heart & Stroke Foundation to owner/operator of a beauty salon as a cosmetologist and image consultant, Kim had combined all her skill sets, experience, passion and energy into Trinity Enterprise Inc., an employee-owned publishing and entertainment distribution company located in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada. Under Kim’s leadership, Trinity’s vision is to save the little shops around the corner, with a mission to build sustainable, strong, cultural economic communities of interests by engaging independent retailers, independent authors, musicians, and artists of all stripes to join Trinity’s “100-Mile Buy-It” philosophy on www.loonielink.com. Kim feels so excited when she wakes up every morning knowing what Trinity Enterprise’s Loonie Link can accomplish for small and medium sized enterprises and the creators of books, music and art that she can’t stop talking because she wants to share it with everyone. Kim believes utilizing 21st century technology to link and build relationships in the physical and virtual world locally and globally is the key to survival not only for business but for our planet. Kim imagines that as Trinity’s Loonie Link awareness increases, the Loonie Link process will reduce the carbon footprint on earth by doing one extraordinarily simple thing, which we as humans were designed to do in the first place, and that is to join together. Kim’s credo is “If art supports life, and not the other way around, why can’t Loonie Link support, promote and sustain both and in doing so save the little shops around the corner?”
