Her passion has always been to promote other people, products, and causes she truly believes in. That passion led her to Nashville, where she graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Recording Industry Management from Middle Tennessee State University, and began her career working in retail marketing for major record label EMI’s Christian Music Group division, the largest Contemporary Christian music company at that time.

While in college, Sherry was trained in newswriting and reporting through the Freedom Forum’s Chips Quinn Scholars Program, a scholarship internship initiative that promotes racial diversity in the newsroom. This program awarded her an internship with Indian Country Today, the nation’s leading Native American newspaper. During the internship, Sherry covered congressional hearings pertaining to Native issues and interviewed Native Americans who worked in the federal government.

Those skills would help her later as a public relations professional. In 2003, she began providing media relations support for charity events in Nashville, including the Youth Life Foundation’s celebrity golf tournaments, Best Buddies 5K races, and various galas.

These efforts also opened doors for her to promote a variety of small businesses in Middle Tennessee, including the Just A Pinch Recipe Club, Retropolitan boutique, Dawn D. Totty Designs and Internal Medicine Associates. Her professional experience continues to fuel her passion for promoting businesses that will make life better for many people. 

In February 2022, Sherry earned the Certificate in Women’s Entrepreneurship from Cornell University’s Bank of America Institute for Women Entrepreneurs.  She is currently developing a media relations app for small businesses. 

As member of the United Houma Nation, Louisiana’s largest Indian tribe, Sherry is proud to promote efforts that raise awareness of and support for Louisiana’s indigenous communities.
