Sheri received her Law degree from the University of Saskatchewan in 2009 and has been practicing in Saskatoon since that time though her work takes her across Saskatchewan and neighboring provinces. Sheri focuses her practice on all aspects of child protection matters including the representation of parents, foster parents, extended family members, and youth in care. Sheri is a mentor lawyer for the Counsel for Children Office in addition to frequently accepting appointments to act for children and youth in care.
In addition to representing individual parties on child protection matters, Sheri is counsel of record for a number of First Nations, delegated Aboriginal Child and Family Services Agencies, and Indigenous decision making bodies functioning in self-governing nations. She is a frequent presenter, guest speaker, and consultant on all areas of capacity building under An Act Respecting First Nations, Inuit and Metis children, youth and families (formerly “Bill C-92”).
She is a frequent presenter at professional development seminars to the Saskatchewan legal community on indigenous child welfare and has also had the pleasure of presenting to the judiciary, to other provinces and bar associations, and as the only presenter on the topic of Bill C-92 at a national conference for family law in 2024.
In addition to her busy practice Sheri also manages all of the day to day operations of the office and is always happy to receive inquiries from students or lawyers interested in joining the office.
