About Sheri

Being from a large family, I have worked with children of all ages my entire life. My 'first career' was as a successful chef & bakery owner for almost 20 years. During that time, I volunteered as an experiential mentor for a number of local charter schools- serving as mentor, tutor, sounding board & negotiator in tough situations. This was when I realized that my passion lies in working with kids- particularly those who tend to 'fall between the cracks' by conventional standards. Upon closing my bakery in 2011, I have worked with 3 families, helping their children face a variety of developmental, interpersonal, & social challenges. I guided the children in developing skills to navigate school, family & personal relationships while implementing a structured, caring environment that not only benefited the children, but the parents as well. I am proud to say that the children thrived, as well as the families! I would love to be able to use my skills to help another family do the same!
