I'm Kerri! I'm fresh out of college and already a Midwesterner in the making! East Coast born and raised, I'm looking forward to seeing all of what Iowa and the Cedar Valley have to offer. Originally from a small town only forty-five minutes away from Scranton (the Electric City) Pennsylvania; I grew up a fan of most New York sports teams with a special love for the Yankees. I studied Broadcast and Digital Journalism at the S.I. Newhouse School of Communications at Syracuse University in Central New York. Fun fact: I actually minored in Philosophy and can talk too much about the meaning of the universe. I graduated college in May of 2020 otherwise known as one of the worst times in history to enter the job market. Just like a baby, it took me nine months to fully form and be pushed out of my parents' place. I love anything to do with pop culture and music, so being in this business is a blessing for her. Hopefully, I can bring you some laughs, music news, and occasionally a few puns when you tune in to the K92.3 Morning Show. When I'm not on your radio you can probably find me drinking wine, bingeing reality tv, or looking up whatever Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are up to. If you see me anywhere around the Cedar Valley make sure to say hello.
