As both Founder and CEO of Moving Mountains Recovery, Jefferey has over 9 years of experience in the field of addiction.

Kerry Hamberger | Human Resource Specialist

I am excited to be working as a part of the team at Moving Mountains. I love being back in HR and forming relationships with all the employees and being able to help others. The novelty of working in Human Resources is every day brings something different. Outside of work I am a mom to one son who is in, college and I am a lifelong resident of Roxbury. Most of my free time is spent watching his baseball games and if I am not at a field, I like to spend time at the beach and travelling.
