Raised in a missionary family, Sharon developed a deep appreciation for faith-based service and cross-cultural ministry from a young age. Through her own spiritual journey, she has encountered the power of the Immanuel approach to cultivate relational connection, healing, and transformation in God’s presence. This personal formation is the heart behind her desire to support and serve on the board of Immanuel Roots, whose mission aligns deeply with her passion for helping others encounter and live from a tangible, ongoing relationship with God.

Sharon is multilingual, speaking five languages, and brings experience in project management and social media marketing to support the organization’s mission with thoughtfulness, clarity, and care.

Outside of ministry, Sharon is an avid pickleball player and enjoys time building community on and off the court. Sharon also serves in her local church as part of a rotating team of Sunday School teachers.
