Kerrin Langford - Rural Counties Pathway Specialist

Kerrin’s journey has taken her around the world—from Dubai to Anchorage, Houston to Phoenix, Portland to Fort Wayne, and through several Southern California cities—before finally settling in Colville, Washington. After 17 successful years in banking, she retired and set sights on a new chapter in education.

Since entering academia in April 2022, Kerrin has found a passion for serving her community, especially by empowering youth. As someone with ADHD and Autism, she deeply understands the importance of encouragement, support, and representation for those who don’t always receive it. While working full-time, she earned a bachelor’s degree and two associate degrees, demonstrating the resilience she now hopes to inspire in others.

Kerrin is committed to helping students who face challenges—whether they’re balancing work and school or navigating life as a neurodivergent learner. Her goal is to show that every path is worth pursuing and to uplift those who may not yet believe in their own potential.
