A native of Southern California, trips to the beach and camping are Cheryl’s favorite childhood memories.  She treasures her college education and bachelor’s degree from Cal Poly Pomona University for its hands-on approach to her marketing studies.  Gratefully, she has marketed her way into some fascinating careers—sales associate for Xerox, news director for an ABC-TV affiliate station, elementary school teacher, non-profit development director and author.  She made an independent journey around the world before starting a successful travel consulting business for over 10 years.

A keynote speaker for more than 25 years, Cheryl has also made radio and television appearances throughout the years.  She believes every life experience is a great resource for her books, workshops, presentations and coaching practice.  In addition to ThankYouology, her other published books include The Story of the StarHearts and two supplemental books for teachers.  Since 1995 Cheryl has published StarHeart Express—a quarterly newsletter that speeds light and love your way.

Cheryl resides in Laguna Woods, California where she leads a weekly laughter class and enjoys being outdoors both in “Mother Nature’s Disneyland” as well as “the happiest place on earth!”
