About:
M.A., Leadership - Higher Education - Truman State University
B.A., Business Administration – Truman State University
Shari graduated from Truman State University in December 2015 with a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration and a minor in Spanish. As a student, she was an active member of Cardinal Key (national honor society), Tau Lambda Sigma (local service sorority), Sigma Delta Pi (national collegiate Hispanic honor society), Student Ambassadors, and Homecoming Committee. She also spent a summer in Costa Rica through a faculty-led study abroad program and is an AmeriCorps alumna.
Shari worked in the Office of Admission for 7 years, serving in a variety of roles from Admissions Counselor to Associate Director. She found great joy in helping families navigate the college search process, creating Admissions events and visits that showed off how special Truman was, and working alongside a dedicated campus community to serve students. While working for her alma mater, Shari completed her Master of Arts in Leadership - Higher Education Administration in 2019.
In her current role, Shari assists the entire division of Student Engagement, Enrollment, and Marketing (which includes Admissions) with various projects. She also serves as the campus advisor for Delta Zeta (social sorority) and as an officer with The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi.
When she is not working, Shari enjoys singing, reality TV, being outside, and spending time with her family and friends. She is an ESFJ and never says no to a good cup of coffee (or two).
Born and raised in Iowa, Shari attended Ankeny High School in Ankeny, IA.
