SPEAKING + INSTRUCTION
Kerri spent the first half of her career helping organizations and their leaders develop a deeper connection with others. Few people understand the value of narrative more than she does. She’s leveraged its power to help build communities, advance ideas and solve social problems. Today she puts that gift to work as a speaker and moderator at events and in the media.
Kerri received her MFA in Creative Nonfiction from Queens University of Charlotte. Her thesis focused on the theoretical and practical aspects of narrative reflection in essay and memoir. She loves to combine her expertise in branding and her command of the personal essay to help other people discover their voice and share their truth.
