Biography
A Massachusetts transplant, Kerry became hooked on Vermont while attending Saint Michael’s College for her undergraduate education. Holding two undergraduate degrees—a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology— two worlds with seemingly disparate career paths. After stints in a large marketing firm, the non-profit sector, and public schools, Kerry discovered a connection within her diverse experiences. This journey led her to the realization that her true passion lay in career coaching.
Presently, Kerry serves as the Associate Director for Career Education and as a Career Coach for the Division of Information Tech & Sciences. She earned her Master’s of Science degree in Executive Leadership and is a certified Global Career Development Facilitator. Beyond her professional life, Kerry embarks on adventures with her husband, Chris, and their two daughters, Kenna and Maeve. Alternatively, you might find her attempting a new British Baking Show recipe, with very varying results, or finding the best cup of coffee in Vermont.
Favorite local eateries and things to do in Vermont:
All about the treats and coffee! Madeleine’s Bakery, West Meadow Bakery, and Box Car Bakery are a few of my favorites
