Below is the article excerpted from her featured writeup.
By the age of 12, Sherry already had figured out what she
wanted to do when she grew up. During her high school years at
Adelphian Academy, she decided where she wanted to go to prepare
for it. In 1986, Sherry enrolled in the physical therapy program at
Andrews University, graduating in 1989 with her Bachelors of
Science Degree in Anatomy and Physiology. The following year she
graduated with her Masters Degree.
Since then, Sherry has worked in outpatient orthopedic
rehabilitation clinics in southeastern Michigan. She founded the
Michigan Institute for Human Performance in Warren, MI in 1998
and recently opened her second private practice. An adjunct faculty
member at Macomb Community College, Sherry also serves as a
corporate consultant specializing in injury prevention, sports specific
conditioning and orthopedic rehabilitation. She has authored several
physical therapy manuals and two inspirational books.
Sherry actively engages with her community. Each year she
organizes a Circuit-a-thon, and sets up an exercise circuit in the
parking lot of one of her MIHP clinics. The funds raised are donated
to a local non-profit organization.
One of her greatest hopes is that Andrews University “will
continue to produce individuals who will courageously share the
Gospel, first and foremost by being responsible, contributing
individuals to the betterment of this world.”
Sherry McLaughlin perfectly embodies this sentiment, leading
by example and inspiring all who know her.
