Keri grew up in the suburbs of Chicago with a large extended family of Michiganders. After finishing her degrees in English and International Studies at the University of Iowa, she found herself immediately in the classroom as an elementary special education paraprofessional. It became clear to her that teaching filled her heart. She quickly moved on to receive her Masters in TESOL/Applied Linguistics at the University of Illinois at Chicago, leading her to teach English Language at an inner city community college that predominantly served refugee and asylum-seeking students.

Keri moved to the Methow Valley in 2016 and worked at Room One for nearly four years. Outside of school, Keri enjoys spending her time foraging, running, gravel biking, and kayaking in the surrounding landscape, as well as tending to her ever growing garden. She lives here with her husband Chris.
