Kerri Murdy

Human Resources Manager

9/12/22

Kerri Murdy serves as the HR Manager at Waterkeeper Alliance, bringing her expertise in overseeing hiring, employee relations, training, policy development, performance management, and compliance to drive the organization's workforce toward its goals.

Hailing from the serene Southern Shore of Long Island in Long Beach, Kerri's upbringing was interwoven with the majestic Long Island Sound to the north and the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean to the south. This environment instilled in her an unwavering love for the waters, fostering a passionate commitment to their preservation.

This lifelong bond with aquatic ecosystems has been the guiding force propelling Kerri to blend her professional career with her deeply ingrained devotion to safeguarding these vital environments. The opportunity to align her personal passion with her professional pursuits at Waterkeeper Alliance has been an exhilarating and purposeful journey.

Kerri's motivation stems from the privilege of supporting Waterkeeper Alliance's employees as they tirelessly advocate for the protection and restoration of our planet's waterways. Before embarking on her role here, Kerri sharpened her skills at an HR consulting firm, collaborating with a diverse array of companies across industries. Through this experience, she discovered her fervor for nonprofit organizations, finding immense fulfillment in contributing her expertise to causes she ardently believes in.

Kerri continues to reside in her cherished Long Beach, immersing herself in the tranquil beauty of the waters. She often spends her leisurely days strolling along the boardwalk, cherishing the natural splendor that surrounds her.
