She is a heartfelt believer in Nelson Henderson's quote, "the true meaning of life is to plant trees under whose shade  you do not expect to sit." And, derives a great deal of personal happiness from giving back and has always done so throughout her life. She took a time out to address a glaring social injustice — inequitable access to mental health care and an alarming increase in suicide rates — taking her case all the way to the FDA.

Kerry is a certified as a Scrum Master by the Scrum Alliance. She holds a Master's Degree from Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government in Public Policy with an Emphasis in Human Services, Labor and Education and a Bachelors of Arts in Economics with Distinction from the University of California, San Diego.

"I am incredibly proud to stand with and support Awareness Ties in their heroic efforts to shine light in the darkness."

Allié and Jack are not only elevating awareness about so many important social causes but are also enabling nonprofits to raise mission-critical funds so they can accelerate their social impact at such a critical time. I’m also honored that they have chosen to partner with our public benefit company in our cause -- suicide prevention.
