A Slice of Home
When it comes to favorite foods, Kerry’s heart — and taste buds — remain loyal to her roots. "A real slice of pizza from New York" is her go-to, with all the authentic flavors and memories of her hometown. This love for authenticity and quality extends into her professional life, where she ensures that every task is handled with genuine care and attention.
Life Beyond Work
Outside of her professional responsibilities, Kerry finds joy in spin classes, animal rescue, and spending time with her Labrador Retrievers, Jeb and Lucy. Her dedication to animal rescue highlights her compassionate nature, which translates seamlessly into her work environment.
Exploring New Horizons
Kerry’s favorite city to visit is OBX (Outer Banks), a place where she can unwind and rejuvenate. This love for exploration and new experiences is mirrored in her approach to her role at Atrium, always seeking new challenges and opportunities for growth.
A Journey with Atrium

Among Atrium’s core values, “Ordering The Pizza” resonates most with Kerry. This symbolizes her unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional customer experiences, always going the extra mile to ensure satisfaction.
Community Involvement
Kerry’s engagement extends beyond her professional duties. Recently, she played a pivotal role in organizing a successful community event at The Nest. The annual summer pool party, in partnership with Verizon 5G, was a testament to her organizational skills and dedication to community building.

Staying updated with industry trends and improving her skills is a priority for Kerry. She actively participates as a member of the Institute of Real Estate Management and is on track to achieve her Accredited Commercial Manager designation by the end of the year. This commitment to continuous learning ensures that she remains at the forefront of the industry.
