Iris worked as an accountant.  She worked at Granville Entertainment Group in 2004, before going back to Korea in 2005 to work as an auditor at KPMG.  Iris became a US Certified Public Accountant in 2006, and began working at KPMG in Vancouver as a licensed CPA in 2008.

Iris Kim was married to Brian Ma on June 10, 2006 at the Chungdong First Methodist Church in Seoul, South Korea.  Together, Iris and Brian lived and laughed, experienced the world together, and made memories with friends and family, and (of course) their dog, Chopper. 
Iris was passionate about travelling, fine dining, and art.  She was a shining soul that lived life with grace and resilience, facing everything with a sweet smile. She will be greatly missed.
