About me

My name is Kimberly Pol. I am the youngest of five girls. I have six nieces and a nephew that should be arriving around October 30th, but I will believe that when I see it. I have a very close family. I would do anything for any of them. I am a die hard Washington Redskins fan. Everytime I have a little extra money, I buy something Redskins. I graduated in 2006 from Collegiate Academy here in Erie. I went into the marines after high school, but got honorably discharged shortly after. When I got out of the service I started working two jobs. I was a tire specialist at Sam's Club in the morning and a manager at Chick-Fil-A at night. About six months after working at Chick-Fil-A, I lost one of my sisters tragically in a car accident by a drunk driver. I decided to go back to school to try to keep my mind off things after the accident. I applyed to Penn State Behrend because it was close to home and I could play my two favorite sports, softball and basketball. I played both sports my freshman year, then later decided to only play basketball. I am now a junior and a communications major. After I graduate I will be going into the police academy to later become a local police officer here in Erie.
