Kerri has spent nearly two decades in nursing, with experience spanning emergency rooms, intensive care units, hospice care, and primary care clinics across several states. That variety gave her a rare, well-rounded perspective on patient care — from fast-paced emergencies to the quiet, compassionate work of supporting patients and families through hospice. After earning her Master of Science in Nursing from Auburn University, Kerri went on to specialize in kidney disease, hypertension, and chronic condition management, always with a focus on treating the whole patient, not just the diagnosis. She joined Rao Heart & Vascular as a CRNP in December 2025, bringing her broad clinical background and calm, caring bedside manner to her patients in cardiology. Kerri believes every patient deserves to feel truly listened to, and she’s committed to walking alongside them at every step of their care.
