[ the short version ]
Hi, I’m Keri
For more than a decade, I’ve helped people reconnect with themselves through creativity, play, storytelling, movement, and honest human connection. My career has never fit neatly into one box — and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
On any given day I might be directing kids in their first musical, facilitating trauma-informed expressive arts with teens in treatment, recording a guided meditation, voicing a children’s book, or convincing a room of adults that pretending to be penguins is a perfectly respectable therapeutic intervention.
Because when words feel too heavy, creativity often knows exactly what to say.
For nine years I designed trauma-informed expressive-arts groups for adolescents in residential treatment — blending visual art, theatre, movement, music, and writing into spaces where healing could happen naturally. I’ve been a Teaching Artist with Disney and with The Smith Center’s Education Outreach team, and a creative consultant for teams that want to think a little more playfully.

Keri — mid-mischief, probably.
[ a few true things ]
Off the clock.
Theatre kid, still
Costumes, character voices, and the smell of fresh paint backstage still thrill me.
Plant person
An ever-growing collection, and a little more patience learned from each one.
Yoga, on & off the mat
Certified to teach — it keeps me grounded enough to keep playing.
Mom to Atlas
Who reminds me every day that wonder is something we get to choose.
Feed Your Spirit
My guided-meditation series, helping listeners slow down and breathe.
Certified car-belter
Very good chance I’m singing Broadway at a stoplight right now.
[ things people ask about ]
Yes, it’s a teapot. Yes, it’s my purse.
My everyday carry.
If you’ve met me, you’ve met the teapot. It’s part signature, part conversation-starter, part reminder that a little whimsy belongs everywhere — the boardroom, the classroom, the stage, the grocery line. Balloon couture, fairy wings, a good pun, a teapot for a purse: the costume changes, but the goal never does. Give people permission to play, and watch what opens up when they take it.
And yes — that dress is balloons.

Love, out loud.
Art has always been my way of standing for something. Being proudly part of the LGBTQIA+ community shapes every room I step into — the belief that everyone belongs, exactly as they are, and that a little more color and courage makes the world kinder.
