Through her pageant platform, “Empowering Youth to Excellence,” she taught strong values of excellence, hard work, and avenues to create positive peer-pressure and right life choices. Still today, Sheri advocates parent, teacher, and community accountability to instill within youth a firm foundation. “America became prosperous because of the integrity of our founding fathers... A people and country based on morals, values, and truth.” Sheri says.
 
She has testified at Congressional Field Hearings on education and has been a keynote speaker for over 80 schools, churches, businesses, and civic organizations. Sheri has also served as the Official Hostess to the state of Iowa.
 
She developed the youth component (a seven page handbook that outlines the steps County Policy Youth Members need to take to become involved in their communities while promoting traditional family values) for The Iowa Family Policy Center,  in Des Moines, Iowa, which is associated with Focus on the Family, headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado. She was the spokeswoman for The Abstinence Scholarship Fund, rewarding and encouraging sexual purity. In addition she was appointed a National Volunteer for Focus on The Family’s youth outreach programs. Sheri has also been a columnist for Families First magazine, a publication dedicated to inform, entertain, and serve families.
 
Sheri has appeared as a panelist on “Student Voices,” an educational television program for teenagers, as well as, done commercials for “Cable in the Classroom,” an educational resource for schools sponsored by TCI Cable.
 
She has served on the mission field in Eastern Europe, as well as taught English to junior high and high school students in Hungary and Poland. Sheri was the noted vocalist at a “Prisoner of War & Missing in Action Remembrance Ceremony,” for the US Military and has weekly helped lead praise and worship at a woman’s group for military spouses (PWOC). In addition Sheri has served as a youth sponsor for teens from across the Ft. Hood, TX, area and believes strongly in mentoring youth, doing so herself one-on-one with several young ladies. Sheri has also counseled at Bible camps, served at youth shelters, and has spoken before dozens of pro-family and conservative organizations, including: Faith Christian Center in Ft. Meyers, Florida, Christian Woman’s organizations throughout the United States, True Love Waits conferences in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Inner-city Heart Ministry in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Her passion to share Christ continues to grow as she is actively involved with women’s ministries across the country, including MOPS (Mother’s of Preschoolers) and recently as the Vice-President of PWOC (Protestant Women of The Chapel) at Fort Huachuca, Arizona.

"Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, 'How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!'" Romans 10:13-35
