Profile

Kym, CEO of Salty Dog Vacations, is one of the company’s foundational pillars. Fluent in Vietnamese, Kym was born in Vietnam and, at just five years old, escaped with her family to the United States as political refugees. After more than 20 years in California, she moved to Florida in 1998 to begin a new chapter with her two daughters, Molly and Samantha.

Kym spent 25 years advancing through the financial services industry, ultimately serving as President of a financial institution. After retiring from that role, she pivoted to real estate—quickly discovering a passion for investment properties. Within a year, she joined forces with Krista at Salty Dog Vacations, bringing her financial expertise, leadership skills, and commitment to helping clients succeed.
