Her pursuit of knowledge didn’t stop there. Cheryl continued her education at San Diego State University, obtaining a Bachelor of Science Degree in Registered Nursing in 2007. This foundational education paved the way for her entry into advanced nursing roles, but Cheryl sought even greater challenges. She enrolled in a combined Master’s Program in Nurse Practitioner and Certified Nurse Midwife at UC San Diego and San Diego State University, completing the rigorous program between 2001 and 2003.

In 1996, she joined Sharp Grossmont Hospital as a medical-surgical nurse, providing compassionate care to patients in the Med-Surg unit until 1997.

Her passion for women’s health flourished at Sharp Mary Birch Hospital for Women and Newborns. From 1997 to 2005, Cheryl worked in Labor & Delivery, Postpartum, Antepartum, and Step-down NICU, where she provided critical care to mothers and newborns. Her role as a nursing specialist from 2004 to 2008 involved staff training, education, and accreditation, culminating in the co-authorship of a journal article on obstetrical emergency response, underscoring her influence in the field.

In 2008, Cheryl transitioned to an OB/GYN nurse practitioner and certified nurse midwife role at Sharp Rees Stealy Medical Group, a position she held for 15 years until 2023. During this time, she offered a comprehensive range of services, from initial OB visits to menopause management, all while performing essential procedures such as IUD insertions and endometrial biopsies. Her holistic approach to healthcare significantly impacted the lives of countless women in the community.

In 2023, Cheryl embraced the evolving landscape of healthcare by joining WellTrust Medical, where she provided remote care for over a year.
