Shari grew up in Madison, WI, and attended University there where she received her Bachelor’s Degree in Journalism and Public Relations. Go Badgers!! In 1999, Shari left the Midwest to conquer New York City, where she worked at a high-powered PR firm in Times Square. It was there she discovered the need of relaxation for an over-stressed population. She decided to go a different direction, which would allow her to relieve other people’s stress rather than create her own by climbing the corporate ladder.

After five years as a New Yorker, Shari’s path has led her here to San Diego where she bought a home with her husband in Scripps Ranch. Shari has been a member of the Fitness Quest 10 team since August of 2004 and thoroughly enjoys the fulfillment she gets from working at the center.  In her free time, Shari enjoys playing tennis, swimming, hiking with her two Labradors and long walks around the neighborhood.
