Something About Kerri
Hi Ya’ll,
It’s nice to meet you. I’m Kerri, Kerri Cokeley. Since I will be a regular on this blog I thought I would share a little about myself. It may help you understand my random thoughts, observations, opinions, and rants that you are bound to be exposed to over time.
I’m an Associate Director of Community Building at Metro United Way in Southern Indiana. You may ask, what in the world does that mean? My best answer is that I help organize volunteers to fulfill the vision of our organization, “for our regional community to be the most vital, caring community in the nation.”
Another professional role I fill is that of Adjunct Professor of Business at Ivy Tech Community College, my Alma Mater. I spent 9 years going to school at night and ended up with an MBA. I expect that I will be in a classroom, one way or another, for the rest of my life.
I’m 30 years old. Never married, but in a relationship. I have three adorable “nibblings” – a word I invented to mean nephews and nieces. I’ve also been a caregiver for my grandmother, or “Grandmammy,” in varying capacities over the past 10 years.
I’ve overcome a plethora of challenges from my childhood, and without the promise of a book deal, you won’t read those stories here. Ha, ha. However, you can know that my colleagues consider me proof that Success By 6 really is a cause worth promoting and growing – thanks to the wonderful neighbor Edith Murley who stepped in to raise me for the first five years of my life.
So, that may be more than you ever wanted to know, TMI. But, I hope it gives some context for the future posts you will read from me.
Sincerely,
Kerri
