In addition to attending dozens of football games, Sherri dabbled in entertainment at MTV, fashion at Yaya Aflalo, and marketing at Equinox Fitness before realizing that writing was her true passion. After spending a year in New York City, she found her way to Florida for more permanent warm weather.
