The legacy of our families lives on through each of us. Whether you come from a tight-knit family or not, you may still see the occasional threads of your family in the tapestry of your life.
For Shernette, those threads aren’t subtle. With a natural ease, she can quickly point to the ways that not only her parents molded her character but one of her brother’s put her on a career path that would ultimately lead to Cook Children’s. Albeit in a most unconventional way.
Growing up in St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands, she was the youngest of six children to Frankie and Iona. Despite her father dying when she was only 8 years old, his impact on her continued to ripple.
