About the Provider

After completing her BSN at the University of Pennsylvania, Cheri started her nursing career focusing on infectious disease at The New York Hospital, Cornell Medical Center’s designated AIDS unit. At New York Hospital, she met the sister-in-charge of Chidamoyo Christian Hospital, a mission hospital in rural Zimbabwe. Cheri volunteered at Chidamoyo for the first time in 1996 and has traveled back many times since.

Cheri earned her Master of Nursing degree from the University of Washington. After graduation, she moved to Chicago and pursued her interest in infectious disease and underserved populations as a nurse practitioner at Cook County Hospital and The Core Center before returning to Seattle.

In Seattle, Cheri served as the continuity provider at Neighborcare’s 45th Street Homeless Youth Clinic from 2010-2024. Prior to that, she provided primary care to newly arrived immigrants at Harborview's International Medicine Clinic for 5 years before leaving to volunteer in Africa. Upon her return, she worked at the King County Department of Public Health's STD clinic and Seattle University's Student Health Center.

Outside of work, Cheri enjoys baking, playing the piano, reading and water aerobics
