Jeri
graduated from Lone Oak High School in Paducah, KY in
1986, then attended Northwestern
University, where she earned a B.A. in Theater in 1990.
While in college, she won the sixth
annual Miss Northwestern Alpha Delta Phi Pageant in 1989.
She also won the talent contest
singing "On My Own" from Les Miserables and
co-won the swimsuit contest. Later, Jeri was
Miss Illinois 1990 and competed in the Miss America pageant,
where she won the swimsuit
competition and placed third runner-up. But if you think
she's all looks and no brains,
you're wrong; while in school Jeri was also a National
Merit Scholar.
Jeri joined
the cast of the NBC series Dark Skies midway through
its first and only season,
with the episode "The Warren Omission." Looking
back on the show, Jeri notes that she liked
the people and the premise, but felt that NBC had given
up on the series by the time she
arrived on the scene. "Dark Skies had a lot of
potential," she says. "The show was just
finding its footing when it got canceled."

Jeri
also found time to film roles in two independent features.
Men Cry Bullets was billed
as "a tragic comedy that uses gender reversal to
demonstrate the insidiousness of an abusive
relationship." On the other hand, "The Last
Man is about the last three people on Earth, and
I'm the last woman," says Jeri. "I know it sounds
like sci-fi, but it's really not. I hope
they get the film released. It's a small, but very good
film."
