Among her current duties at BSU, Sherri provides leadership and oversight of the academic computing staff supporting faculty in course redesign, effective use of educational technologies to improve learning outcomes, and the design, development and implementation of online courses. She drafted BSU’s strategic plan for online learning and serves as BSU’s liaison to the University System of Maryland’s Academic Transformation initiatives.

She also teaches online for University of Maryland, University College (UMUC) and Walden University.

Sherri holds a Sc.D in Computer Science with minors in Educational Leadership and Management Science from George Washington University (2000), a Master’s in Computer Science with Mathematics minor from North Carolina State University (1994), and a Bachelor’s of Science in Computer Science with Mathematics minor from Wake Forest University (1992). 

A resident of Clarksville, MD, Sherri and her husband, Sam, have two children Ethan (11) and Sarah (7). When she does have free time, she enjoys horseback riding, exercising and reading mystery novels.
