\u201cI learned to get paid to do what I loved and enjoyed doing.\u201d \u2014Keri Blunt

Keri Blunt is the VP of Everything at Goodr, the sunglasses company that has taken over the running world. But Keri\u2019s goal wasn\u2019t always (or ever) to work in the running industry. Her original plan \u2014 after graduating high school valedictorian at 16 years old \u2014\xa0was to become a doctor. She went to college, where she double majored in molecular, cellular, and developmental biology and English literature \u2014\xa0and realized her actual passions along the way. Today, Keri splits her time between overseeing content at Goodr and being a dancer, actor, and comedic rapper.
