Kerry is a driven and compassionate young woman. After aging out of foster care, she worked hard to secure both employment and a spot in college—balancing classes and a job with the local school district as she works toward her goal of becoming an early education teacher. Kerry is the first in her family to pursue a college degree. She brings a deep sense of purpose to everything she does, motivated by her lived experience and desire to create safe, supportive spaces for the next generation of students. Kerry describes herself as hardworking, eager to learn, and committed to building a successful future.

As a college student balancing classes and a part-time job, Kerry is also learning how to manage a household on her own after aging out of foster care. She’s thoughtful about creating routines that support her independence, from meal prepping to keeping her home organized and welcoming. She wishes for a stainless steel flatware set that will allow her to cook, eat, and host. Having a complete set of durable, matching utensils will add a touch of home to her space.
