INSTRUCTOR

Sherry's expertise in environmental analysis and regulation laid the foundation for her path that began at the Manitoba Research Council. While working with Enviro-Test Laboratories, her focus on organic water and soil contamination lead to client collaborations on sampling plans, analysis and data interpretation. An expansion into air quality assessments allowed her to hone her skills in industrial hygiene, data analysis and communication that spanned many industries. Transitioning to safety and health program development, she then broadened her expertise to include the full scope of human resources in the health care sector. Embracing coaching and leadership development, she discovered her passion for cultivating thriving workplaces. Today, Sherry excels at facilitating leadership programs and guiding strategic initiatives to enhance staff well-being and ultimately organizational outcomes.
