Hello, I'm Sherry, a retired clinical social worker and school counselor/special education teacher with an MSW and M.Ed. I spent a career helping others, and now I'm embarking on a new journey as an freelance writer. Writing has always been a passion of mine. As I navigate this new chapter, I'm also enjoying reading articles from other writers on Medium. There are so many talented people writing about a wide range of subjects, and I feel like I'm constantly learning something new. In addition to my writing pursuits, I'm a single adoptive parent to three amazing children who are now talented, thriving, and cool adults. In my free time, I love exploring the world through the lens of my camera as an amateur photographer. I also have an eclectic taste in music and enjoy discovering new artists. At 74 years young, I'm excited to see where this new journey takes me, and I'm grateful to be part of such a vibrant writing community.
