Word that best describes me: Friendly
Something you might not know about me: I am an ordained elder at St. Luke Presbyterian Church.

What my colleagues say about me: "Cheryl is a very no-nonsense kind of person, but she does everything with grace and good humor," said Lyman Palmros, library
associate in the library. "She's also a very caring individual."
"Cheryl always has something kind to say about everyone, even if she is thinking unkind thoughts. That's a rare ability to have," said Judy Schow, serials assistant in the library.
"She generally has a smile for everyone who enters the library, making for a friendly atmosphere at the front desk."
"Cheryl is the library for many of our users," said Cindy Scroggins, director of the library. "Around 4,000 people walk through our door each week, and I would swear
Cheryl is on a first-name basis with 3,900 of them. She is friendly, outgoing and involved, and has been a steady source of comfort to countless students over the years."
