Employee Highlight: Kim Flowers, Fast-Paced and Purposeful

When Kimberly Flowers took her first job in aviation, she wasn’t chasing a lifelong dream—she was stepping into the unknown. But something clicked. “The energy, the pace, and the precision of the field fascinated me,” she says. “From there, I was hooked.” 

Kim’s aviation journey began on the ground floor—literally—as a shipping and receiving associate. The role was fast, detailed, and demanding, but she quickly found she thrived under pressure. Those early lessons in accuracy and time management still power her work today as an AOG Parts Specialist, a role where the stakes are high and the clock is always ticking.

“No two days are the same,” Kim explains. “I’m sourcing and coordinating parts for grounded aircraft, working with vendors, managing logistics—it’s a constant puzzle, but I love it.”

Her favorite part? Problem-solving. “There’s nothing like tracking down a hard-to-find part, pulling a plan together, and getting that aircraft back in service. It’s fast-paced and purposeful, and I know what I do makes a difference.”

But for Kim, it’s not just about the pace—it’s about the people. “We have such a strong team dynamic. Everyone supports one another. That kind of camaraderie is rare,” she says. It’s one of the main reasons she’s stayed at Stevens for half a decade and counting. “I feel valued here. Leadership is transparent, and I know my work matters.”

She recalls a proud moment when a complex part delivery came together just in time to help a customer avoid a major delay. “It was a real team effort. Those moments remind me how critical our roles are—and how much we can accomplish when we pull together.”

Kim describes Stevens in four words: Reliable. Supportive. Forward-thinking. Family. And if she could give one piece of advice to someone just starting out in aviation? “Be curious. Ask questions. Every role matters in this industry, and the more you learn, the further you’ll go.”

Kim, thank you for being the steady hand, the calm voice, and the friendly face so many of us count on. Your work ethic, warmth, and quiet strength don’t just keep things moving—they make Stevens a better place to be. We’re lucky to have you on our team, and we’re even luckier to know you.
