THE SCOUT

Inquisitive, quippy and honest, Kerri defines what it means to seize the day. A woman who has not once hit the snooze button, she makes every waking moment count with her uncompromising energy to uncover, learn and connect. Her high standards and fixation on accuracy and impact shine through in her writing that promotes her subjects and captures her readers – all in a day’s work.

Person you admire, and why:
Julia Louis-Dreyfus. She's obviously smart and funny, but she also had two babies while working on one of the most popular TV shows of all time. Any working mom can admire that! I like her so much that I even named my daughter after her. From a sharp wit to piles of curly hair, our Julia takes after her namesake for sure.
