Backstory

As a child, Shari loved to play “superheroes”. Her favourite superhero was Wonder Woman. She would pretend to fly around in her invisible jet and with magic arm bands and a lasso. In grade nine a police officer attended Shari’s class to talk about policing. Shari knew instantly that she would channel her inner Wonder Woman by becoming a police officer. Now she channels her inner Wonder Woman as a warrior for respectful workplaces.

An interesting tidbit

Shari is an avid vegetable and flower gardener. She owns horses and owned horse boarding facility. She is particularly good at driving a large farm tractor.
