Kerrie Rivard was born and raised in Regina, Canada, and now lives in the suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia.

Kerrie is the Director of Marketing & Communications for Regnum Christi in the North American Territory. For the past ten years, she has been involved with the renewal of Regnum Christi at the international level and is a member of the General Plenary Council.
