She completed undergraduate coursework through The City University of New 91亚色 and has a BA in Psychology with a minor in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Studies from New 91亚色. Sharlene completed some of her nursing prerequisites through the University of Rochester and her BS in Nursing from Columbia University in NYC. She completed graduate coursework in psychiatric/mental health nursing and social studies education, through Columbia University and the Relay Graduate School of Education, respectively. Sharlene has an MSN from Cedarville University through the Pediatric Nurse Practitioner (PNP) specialty program and a graduate certificate in Global Public Health Nursing. She also completed a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree in Nursing Education from Andrews University. As an Afro-Caribbean woman, whose mother is from Haiti, she greatly admires the strength and perseverance of the Haitian people and the significance of The Haitian Revolution because it was the most successful slave revolt in human history. Due to her cultural background, Sharlene feels especially connected to the incredible story of Harriet Tubman due her lasting influence as a nurse and representation as an archetype of liberation from bondage. Harriet Tubman was indeed famously nicknamed "Moses" and as a result, there is a special kinship that Sharlene experiences, due to her Orthodox Christian baptismal name being 'Moselle", which specifically honors her patron saint, the biblical prophet Moses, who Harriet Tubman was named after.
