A self-described “Jack-of-All-Trades”, she says that variety is the spice of life, well said Sharla!
Sharla has over 30 years as a hairstylist, she opened my own salon in 2015. She earned a bachelor’s degree in Communication at the University of Texas in Arlington in 2003 while working as a hairstylist.
In 2010 she became interested in child welfare and pursuing a master’s degree in Social Work. After graduating with an MSW in 2012 she worked in foster care/adoption as well as some medical social work over the next few years. In 2018, because of her experience with case work, she began working in Adult Education as a Career Navigator. She worked for three years at Weatherford ISD in several capacities, including ESL instructor, and facilitating a course in Entrepreneurship in the Adult Ed department.
In addition, while still working and operating her salon she was also working in Adult Ed, she and her oldest daughter launched an event childcare company. Most of their work is through a contract with the US Army, where we provide childcare at Army events for couples where one partner has just returned from deployment. It is a very unique industry and has been very lucrative and a great experience for them.
Sharla was born in Dallas, Texas raised in Euless, Texas and now lives in Weatherford, Texas with my husband Tim, a software engineering manager. She has four adult children and seven grandchildren.
