She participates in missionary work and has traveled all over the world, in addition to mission work in the US. In her free time, Sheila enjoys watching movies, sports, and plays, as well as traveling for day trips or scenic car rides.

Sheila stated, “I’ve worked in group homes for a long time, with larger groups of people. Being a Sponsored Residential Provider and working in a smaller setting, gives me the opportunity to give individuals what should be free to them, to be loved and cared for, and to feel safe. I want to support someone to grow in independence, to help them think for themselves and do for themselves, to support their ideas and dreams, and to help them find themselves.”
