Sherri's journey through mental illness stems from a childhood marked by trauma, leading her to self-medicate at a young age. Her struggles resulted in numerous hospital stays and moments of despair, but in August 1998, Sherri found her path to recovery. This transformative experience empowered her to prioritize her mental health and rebuild her life through healthier coping strategies, strong support networks, and open conversations about mental health within her family.

A recognized leader, Sherri currently serves as an executive officer on the Local Collaborative 3 (LC3) and has served on the New Mexico Public Education Department Secretary's Family Advisory Council and completed a family peer support worker certification program. She graduated from UNM's Partners in Policymaking, an Advocacy and Disability Leaders Program, and previously served as State President of NAMI New Mexico.

Through her advocacy, Sherri collaborates with others to reduce stigma and promote systemic changes that enhance the quality of life for individuals and families facing mental health challenges. Her message of hope and resilience continues to inspire, as she strives to illuminate paths for others.
