As a lover of all animals, Sharon has always sought out ways to be involved with bringing better lives to those animals in need.  Having worked with domestic and wildlife rescues, she's developed an even deeper love and respect for animals and the impact they have on us everyday. Sharon has seen the transformation that is made when an animal is saved from a cruel and horrific world to one that is fun, caring and full of love.  Not only are the animals saved, but so are the families that take them in.  Outside of the NEC, Sharon works full time as a controller for a lumber yard.  That position in conjunction with her 15+ years in the financial industry has given Sharon the experience to help NEC reach its full potential and reach all those in need.
