Sherri Carreker

"I am thrilled to call Portland home. My husband and I moved from North Carolina three years ago and have grown to love the Pacific Northwest. I was a teacher and principal in the public schools of North Carolina and Kentucky for over 25 years. My position at Lewis & Clark College allows me the opportunity to work with many of our first year teachers in Oregon."
