Ep. 85 Miss America, How Growing Outside America Made Me Appreciate Our Blessings-Sharlene’s American Story

Sharlene's father's job had his family living all over South America during Sharlene's youth.  This time allowed her to appreciate America and all of our freedoms and blessings.

Sharlene attended BYU, where unexpectedly, she found herself not only competing in Miss America, but also winning the crown.  More than gowns and traveling the country, Sharlene endured intense scrutiny the first six months of her title.  She learned to focus her attention on others, lessening the anxiety Sharlene felt about herself.

Sharlene was a broadcaster at ESPN.  Sharlene gave up her job to raise her young family.

Even at a young age, Sharlene was humbled and proud to be an American.  This feeling continued into her adulthood.  Sharlene was appointed by the U.S. Secretary of Defense to the Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Armed Forces in 2015.  

Sharlene was a pivotal part of the https://www.remembermyservice.com/

an organization that has published historical commemoratives for more than half a million veterans and military service members.

Sharlene's mission continues to be sharing her passion for America with her children and grandchildren.
