With issues surrounding travel and quarantines, Kim's signing wasn't officially completed until 17 October. She made her debut on November 1, starting in a 6–1 victory against second division ASD Riozzese in the 2020–21 Coppa Italia group stage. She scored her first goal for the club on 13 December in a 1–1 Serie A draw with Empoli. Three days later she made her UEFA Women's Champions League debut, starting in a Round of 32 second leg away at Slavia Prague. Fiorentina scored a stoppage time winner to progress 3–2 on aggregate.

International career

Kim has represented the United States at the under-18 and under-20 and under-23 levels. In January 2018, Kim was part of the under-20 team that finished as runners-up at the 2018 CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship, losing the final to Mexico in a penalty shoot-out. In August 2018, Kim was also named to the 2018 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup squad. The team failed to get out of the group behind Spain and Japan as Kim made three substitute appearances. In April 2019, Kim was called up to the under-23 team to play at the La Manga U23 tournament, starting in two of the three games. Kim was born in Liberia to a Ghanaian father and Liberian mother, which makes her eligible to represent Ghana. In April 2024, she was approached by Ghana women's national team head coach Nora Häuptle to talk about a possible call-up. On 30 May 2025, she made her senior debut for Ghana as an 83th-minute substitution in a 3–3 away friendly draw against Ivory Coast. On 30 October 2025, Kim's request to switch international allegiance to Ghana was approved by FIFA.
