She is a Special Education Volunteer Advocate with SPAN, volunteers as an Advocate with The Arc of New Jersey, and is a member of the Council of Parent Advocates and Attorneys (COPAA).

She keeps the Starfish Tale close in mind when assisting families: <\/p>\n
A young girl was walking along a beach upon which thousands of starfish had been washed up during a terrible storm. When she came to each starfish, she would pick it up, and throw it back into the ocean. People watched her with amusement.<\/p>\n
She had been doing this for some time when a man approached her and said, \u201cLittle girl, why are you doing this? Look at this beach! You can\u2019t save all these starfish. You can\u2019t begin to make a difference!\u201d<\/p>\n
The girl seemed crushed, suddenly deflated. But after a few moments, she bent down, picked up another starfish, and hurled it as far as she could into the ocean. Then she looked up at the man and replied, \u201cWell, I made a difference for that one!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nKeri lives in Morris County with her husband, her three boys, a boxer, and a great dane.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
