Cheryl, what prompted you to join the Healthy Acadia team?

I want to help others who struggle [with substance use] and knowing I can make a difference in someone's life will be my biggest reward.

What most inspires you about Healthy Acadia's work? 

It is inspiring to know that I have the ability to offer resources and help others in our community.

What most inspires you on a personal level?

I am inspired by those who always have a willingness to help others. And, of course my grandkids are a constant source of inspiration!

What is your favorite thing to do, or place to be, in Maine, and why?

My favorite activities include going to camp and taking grandkids and my pups. I love the lake, and I also love lobstering - catching those tasty lobsters!

Cheryl resides in Addison and enjoys spending time with her husband and family. “ I have four great kids, three grandkids, and two pups. And I finally have a job in which I’m so excited to learn more and to help others!
