Kerri Gardner

Kerri Gardner is a wife, mother, author, blogger, motivational speaker and suicide survivor. Kerri graduated High School in 1992. She attended and graduated Back Bay College in 1994. She considers herself a JILL OF ALL TRADES. Unlike other authors, Kerri didn't go to school for writing. Instead, for years after her attempted suicide, she started writing and collecting journals. She excelled in Literature class in both High School and College. Writing was always a true passion; she never believed it could be a career choice for her. After years of "trying out several careers," including Travel Agent, Admin Assistant, IT Help Desk Support, Sales for 10 years through home based businesses, Real Estate Agent and Dental Assistant. Finally, Kerri realized her true passion was to follow her heart and write that book she had longed to write for years, yet was afraid to try. Being ashamed of her attempted suicide for 25 years, it took an email from her daughter's school explaining a friend of her daughter killed herself over the weekend. While Kerri realized the school would be taking whatever measures it could to ensure each student had help in dealing with the loss of their classmate and friend, the email was the catalyst that enabled Kerri to stop being ashamed of her suicide attempt and use her story to help others dealing with depression, bullying and suicidal thoughts. Kerri Gardner is available for select speaking engagements. To inquire, please contact Kerri through her website www.kerrigardner.net
