Hello! My name is Sherri Holmes. I am an older returning student who is married with three daughters. One is a recent college grad and a Mechanical Engineer, one is a college student and the youngest is in high school. I work in New York City and am a co-chair for both my workplace union and our committee for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. None of us are experts on DEI but are passionate about changing the culture at our company. I enjoy reading most genres, watching movies, political debate, exploring nature and love going to the beach on steamy days!
I don’t have an exciting summer planned, so if I can squeeze it in, perhaps we’ll go to Cape May (Jersey Shore). Other than that, I’ll be working remotely full time and taking summer courses that I wouldn’t ordinarily be able to take online in non-pandemic times.
I chose this inquiry because as a union rep, I deal with workplace issues on a regular basis and thought it would be interesting.
I haven’t been in school for a very, very long time, so I appreciate all of your tips on taking an online class.
It’s nice to meet you all!
Nice to meet you, Sherri. It will be great to hear your perspectives as a union rep and as someone who works on issues of Diversity and Inclusion already!
