Kerri Banks

A quick-learning, detail-oriented, and moderately-caffeinated collaborator with eight years of high-impact experience in data tracking, global connections, and servicing clients with highly-specialized needs. With my shelves currently about to buckle thanks to over 500+ books about art, video game development, and world culture throughout the ages, it would be a dream to connect these passions with my client-centric employment history to support your teams and build the foundations of the future in the entertainment industry! My messages are open-- please don't hesitate to reach out. ------ Currently, I spend my time slinging coffee (and artwork) behind bar at Ten Drops Coffee Lab as a barista and freelance illustrator. My exceptional interpersonal skills have enabled me to connect with the most memorable, bonkers, and wonderful individuals from all walks of life that I'm thrilled to not only call my regulars, but my friends. I was recently assisting taxpayers at the Plainfield Township Assessor's Office with community outreach, property tax exemptions, and residential property data. Connecting to our taxpayers with education and empathy has enabled me to address their property concerns before they become problems. Previously, I worked as a Direct Support Professional for developmentally-disabled adults at Illinois Valley Industries for nearly five years. Here, I leveraged personalized program management and sincere connection to achieve measurable increases of client engagement, educational retention, and skill growth that I am eager to share with your team.
