Cheryl was born in Regina, Saskatchewan but lived in Vancouver and the Sunshine Coast until she attended Northwestern University. There she majored in voice and pursued musical theater. Back in the Lowermainland, she's taught public school arts and raised three kids while pursuing film acting and theater work. Never one to shy away from odd casting calls, she's played a female flasher, the boss lady who accidentally displays her parts at a dinner party and a homicidal pediatric nurse.
