Sherri was born in Fort Rucker, Alabama, and was raised in a military family. She received her undergraduate nursing degree from Auburn University at Montgomery in 1992. While attending AUM, she had her first child under the care of a certified nurse-midwife and it was from this experience that her passion for midwifery and women’s health grew.
After graduation, Sherri went on to join the Army and served for over 20 years providing care to women initially as a labor & delivery nurse and later as a certified nurse-midwife. She earned her Master of Science degree from the Medical University of South Carolina in 2000.
