Sherrie attended Mohawk College and graduated in 1975 as a Registered Nurse. She worked in Obstetrics and the Operating Room for ten years. Community Nursing piqued her interest with special attention to Palliative Care and Symptom Management. The Victorian Order of Nurses is where she was able to work 1-1 with ill and recovering patients and their families. She attended McMaster University and graduated with a BScN in 1995. In her off hours she attended Conestoga College in the evenings and obtained the Teacher/Trainer Certificate in Adult Programs in 2001. Sherrie took further Management courses and moved across into LTC in Brant-Haldimand-Norfolk Counties as a Unit Manager in several Nursing Homes. The final ten years of her career involved being a Case Manager for the CCAC in Elgin County.
