About

As a pediatric occupational therapist with more than 11 years of clinical experience, professionally Keri specializes in working with infants, young children and their families by promoting developmental milestones in clients’ homes, in the public school system and in the community.

Over time it was clear that Keri had developed a talent for finding developmental toys that promoted a child’s educational skills, in fun, natural and playful ways. So Keri, along with her husband Derek, a photographer and multimedia specialist, decided it was time to put both of their talents together to create a resource for all parents, and ToyQueen.com was developed.

ToyQueen.com provides content that is created by a mother with a professional background in child development. This online resource reviews toys, games, attractions, events, movies, DVD’s and baby products for their developmental qualities. The goal is to help all parents and caregivers learn practical ways to play with their children everyday.

Keri has been featured as a contributing writer in various toy, parenting and juvenile product blogs including Time to Play Magazine and the Juvenile Products Manufacturer’s Association. Keri has utilized her expertise to provide consultation for product and brand development with companies including Constructive Playthings, Mega Bloks, and Isis Parenting. She has made media appearances in public providing seminars to parents on topics such as various ways to play with an infant. She has appeared on a variety of live web shows discussing holiday gift suggestions on both Dad Labs and Digital Dads, and she has also been featured on FitarellaTV highlighting different toys that promote exercise, health and wellness. Keri contributes weekly reviews to the product review blog on The Parenting Connection.

Keri’s most recent accomplishment, includes being hired as the main content provider to the Toys site at About.com. About.com has more than 900 sites supported by Guides who are independent subject matter experts in the topics they cover.

Keri, her husband Derek, and their curious toddler Gavin, live in the Greater Boston area of Massachusetts.
