Profile

Sherryl has worked with Concordia Irvine for several years now and welcomes the opportunity to use her experience, organization skills, and faith in a combination that will benefit the students and her community. She is currently in her third year of Ph.D. studies in the School of Leadership and Management Studies and is excited to explore the latest theories in Leadership and Management while researching how these theories are influenced by history and current events.

Sherryl’s interests span a number of areas, but all are within the Management and Organizational Studies area. She is particularly interested in linking conflict management theories and organizational psychology as it applies toward the changing demographics in the workforce. Managing multigenerational workforces may take a new wave of cooperation.

She lives in the Inland Empire with her husband of 24 years and two children.
