Sheryl joined HLS in 2013. She received her J.D. from American University’s Washington College of Law, and she later earned her LL.M. in Environmental Law from Vermont Law School. For several years, Sheryl worked as a litigator with White & Case LLP where she also represented several pro bono clients on matters related to family law and social security benefits. Sheryl went on to spend five years at Vermont Law School, serving first as a Clinical Fellow in the Environmental and Natural Resources Law Clinic (ENRLC) and then as an Assistant Professor, Acting Director and Consulting Attorney in the Clinic.
