Originally from Lubbock, Kerri graduated from Texas Tech with a Bachelor of Science in Personal Financial Planning in 2003.  During her time in PFP, Kerri served with Red to Black as a financial counselor and educator writing several training documents for Red to Black, including presentations for IS1100 courses, basic financial advice, pre-marriage financial decisions and discussion, understanding employee benefits offers and packages, and others.  While working with Red to Black, Kerri also earned her Accredited Financial Counselor designation.  Upon graduation, she became the Unit Coordinator/Account Manager for the Texas Tech Student Government Association working directly with students and student organizations. She spent 6 years with SGA, and upon completion of her Master of Education in Curriculum & Instruction, Kerri left TTU to teach junior and senior level English at Lubbock-Cooper High School. After 4 years in the classroom, Kerri returned to TTU in 2014 in her current role as the Business Manager for the TLPDC. Kerri is responsible for managing the TLPDC accounts, preparing budgets, travel, purchasing, all human resources matters, event and conference planning.

When Kerri is not thinking about TLPDC funding, she and her husband, Philip, are chasing their three wonderful children: Isabelle, Jasper, and Kaitlyn. As you can imagine with three children, Kerri can probably quote every Disney movie and sing every Disney song currently in existence. In her free time, Kerri loves reading, quilting, embroidery, photography, and making memories with her beautiful family.
