At the young age of 25 Sherry, the showroom’s newest hire, has done more than most people have before the age of 40. She has been in a band since high school and toured the Country for the past four years. In addition, Sherry was a substitute teacher of grades K-12, in all subjects, on and off for 3 years. She spent a month in Kenya and has been teaching herself Swahili, (Kenya’s native tongue), for the past nine months. To top it all off, Sherry earned a degree in public relations from the University of Idaho.
Three months ago, Sherry and her husband moved to Seattle from Idaho Falls where she had lived since she was five. They moved to Seattle for a number of reasons, the first being to be nearer to her husband’s sister. Secondly, Seattle seemed to offer them greater career and music opportunities, and because they both have a passion for music and want to work towards being homeowners, it seemed like the right fit. So far, Sherry loves Seattle and does not see herself moving in the near future.
Although Sherry never anticipated doing interior design outside of her own home, she was intrigued by the Statements job listing and decided to give it a go. She says she really likes working in the showroom and that her co-workers are her favorite thing about working at Statements.
Even though Sherry currently lives way up north she is not letting the long commute or gas prices get her down. She, along with Sarah, ride the Sounder train to work every morning on which she enjoys the extra hour of sleep and a relaxing ride. The train lets her off at the train station in Pioneer Square and she carpools the rest of the way with Britt. Sherry has only lived here a short time but is already getting into the swing of the “green” lifestyle which we Seattle-ites live by.
Sherry has many passions. Much like her husband, she loves music. She was the lead singer in her band, Lystra’s Silence, and has been playing the piano most of her life. She also loves to swim. She also has been doing this most of her life and since joining the YMCA she now swims three days a week. Sherry also really enjoys learning about new cultures and hanging out with people.
Overall Sherry is a great addition to the showroom and her positive attitude and good nature makes working with her a lot of fun.
You know, I have to tell you, I really enjoy this blog and the insight from everyone who participates. I find it to be refreshing and very informative. I wish there were more blogs like it. Anyway, I felt it was about time I posted, I?ve spent most of my time here just lurking and reading, but today for some reason I just felt compelled to say this.
