Over the course of her remarkable career, Sharon served in nearly every area of education from elementary school classrooms to high school counseling and middle school leadership. She later earned her Master’s Degree in Counseling and spent years helping students navigate challenges both academically and emotionally. Her dedication, fairness, and strong leadership eventually led her into school administration, where she became a respected middle school principal known for her integrity, discipline, compassion, and commitment to student success.

Even after retiring from public education, Sharon continued finding ways to teach and inspire others. From educational counseling and national academic testing programs to mentoring students and eventually becoming a certified golf instructor, teaching has remained a central part of her life.

The inspiration behind The Adventures of Amber and Emory came from the special bond Sharon shared with Lucas, a curious 3-year-old who loved to hear stories. His imagination, excitement, and love for storytelling helped bring the characters and their adventures to life. Through her storytelling, Sharon hopes to encourage children to stay curious, embrace imagination, explore the outdoors, ask questions, and value kindness, friendship, and family.

Today, Sharon combines her lifelong passion for education, storytelling, sports, and adventure into stories that inspire children and families to dream bigger, explore further, and create meaningful memories together.
