Kerri Karvetski | MomsRising

I'm an independent consultant helping nonprofits (including MomsRising) communicate online, and a proud defender of women’s rights and our beautiful natural world.

My passions include soccer, especially the fabulous USWNT, coaching and watching youth sports, and volunteering and giving back to my community. I grow a lot of vegetables, make a lot of compost, ferment my own hot sauce, and love to swap and share my homegrown bounty. I live in the scenic Hudson Valley in New York State with my husband, two children, and a few rescued fur babies.
