Singing alto in the choir at First Baptist Church Hilton Head is just one of the ways Cheryl gives back to her community. Her volunteer spirit was instilled by her parents as a teen and has become a life-long commitment to service. Currently, she serves as vice president of the 650-member Hilton Head Plantation Women’s Club, where next year she’ll step into the role of president. She also serves on the board of the nonprofit Neighborhood Outreach Connection (NOC).

Cheryl has been passionate about sharing the healing effects of yoga for more than two decades, with daily practice and teaching. In fact, she’s accumulated enough classroom hours of study and enough certifications to have earned a PhD! You can catch her classes at Jiva Yoga Center.

Being the mom of three tiny teacup Yorkshire terriers, Violet Valentina (Vivi, 13), Spartina Noel (Tina, 3), and Coco Lili (Coco, 2), keeps a big smile on Cheryl’s face and a warm beat in her heart.

4Born in Louisiana and coming from a long lineage of great Southern cooks, Cheryl loves rooting for the LSU Tigers almost as much as she loves cooking for family, friends, and even her fur girls.

5 Along with cooking up some great meals, Cheryl also enjoys growing (and sharing) her own vegetables in her and her husband’s plot at Seabrook Farms.
