About Shari
I was inspired to become a nurse after my aunt and childhood mentor died of cancer after working in a tannery and paper mill. I realized that the best way to save people from disease is to prevent chemical exposures and teach others preparedness techniques and precautionary methods. I felt most fulfilled when workers understood and used their training in their communities and workplaces to enact changes that allowed them to be productive and healthy through the end of their careers and into a well-deserved and productive retirement. The poor working conditions afforded nurses led me to seek an Associate's Degree in pre-law and paralegal studies before working towards a bachelor's degree in occupational and environmental health and safety. Through this process, I became more interested in project management, stakeholder engagement, and policy formation in creating change, specifically in organizational health and safety training and its effect on positive change. After an unusual 2020 instructional year, I pursued a master's degree in organizational leadership. I graduated magna cum laude and was on the President's list in June 2023, and I intend to continue to grow to meet the challenges ahead.
