Kerry Kennedy, M.A.

Kerry Kennedy attended the University of Maryland, College Park where she earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication Studies in 2004. Following graduation, she worked in healthcare public relations representing several mental health pharmaceuticals, which led to her desire to study psychology at the graduate level.  Kerry enrolled in New York University's Graduate School of Arts and Sciences where she focused on child and adolescent psychology and earned her Master of Arts degree in 2008.  During her tenure at NYU, Kerry was named a Master of Arts Scholar by the university and worked as a graduate research assistant.  In this capacity, she examined the psychosocial ramifications of infants with craniofacial anomalies, giving her the opportunity to strengthen her skills in data collection, management, and statistical analyses.  In December of 2008, Kerry joined the National SafeCare® Training and Research Center as the group's research coordinator.
