Ten minutes with Sherry
01What do you attribute your success to?
What drives me is passion, a passion for wanting to have a positive impact on people, for wanting to help others be better in life overall. A lot of my personal experiences have kind of shaped who I am. So it's just my passion for wanting to help people, for wanting people to know that just because you've experienced certain things in life doesn't mean that it's set in stone, and you have the ability to make the change.
02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
My best advice is that personal experiences should not be looked at as a setback, and it doesn't have to define your actual future.
