Kerry is a public health preparedness professional and risk communicator. She has a PhD and Masters in Public Health from Walden University. Her research centers around how different cultures understand emergency information and how to better reach at-risk communities.

Outside of her work, Kerry loves to be active and has a passion for helping others become more active in their lives and to eat healthier without soul-crushing fads. On her LIFE Apps blog, The Evidence-Based Storyteller, Kerry shares stories from her life, both personal and professional, with evidence to help the reader improve their health. She believes stories are the best way to connect rather than dry data points.
