PW Classmates: What do you do now for work? And what has your career path been?
Kim Coletta Davino: Since graduating from Gwynedd Mercy University, I entered the medical field as a Radiologic Technologist. After approximately 10 years, I moved into the administrative side of healthcare, becoming the Director of Operations at an urgent care facility and then the Director of Operations for the Occupational Medicine Department @ Jefferson. I opted to take early retirement, and now my job is to be available to assist my children and grandchildren — and I am loving every minute of it.
PW Classmates: Are you married? Since when?
Kim: I was married to Joseph Frederick for 17 years, and we had two beautiful children. I remarried in 2009, spending over 13 years with a great guy, Richard Davino. However, life happens and we are no longer together, but we remain good friends.
PW Classmates: Kids? Grandkids? Details, please!
Kim: My daughter, Erika Clark, married her childhood next-door neighbor, John Clark, and became a mother of four beautiful children. Sophia is 15, Richard is 13, and the twins Johnny and Gianna are 10. My son, Joseph Frederick Jr., married Kelsey Olpere, and they have two adorable children: Brooklyn, who is 4, and Giuseppe, who is 2. Needless to say, my life is filled with sporting events. You can catch me on the sidelines, bundled up in my cozy blanket, cheering my kids on!
PW Classmates: What did you dream of becoming when you were in high school?
Kim: I always loved animals. Growing up we had many cats and dogs, so I thought I wanted to be a veterinarian. Oh well, taking care of people and entering into the medical field was the next best thing.
PW Classmates: What advice would you give to your high school self?
Kim: Be in the moment, and enjoy yourself. Put a smile on your face, stay connected to your special friends, and remain dedicated to your family.

PW Classmates: What advice do you have for others about creating your best life?
Kim: Please enjoy life and stay connected to your family and friends. I went on a trip of a lifetime with my sister to Rome and the Amalfi Coast in May of 2025. It was amazing. I love to cheer on my Philadelphia Eagles, which connects me to my late father who was an avid fan. My personal motto: God first, Family second, and Career third.
PW Classmates: What would you like to say to all of your classmates today?
Kim: What great memories we shared in those four years at PW. We had so much fun, and I can always look back on that.
