I met Sharon during our MSN program at Purdue University Global, and it quickly became clear that she has a deep passion for protecting children and supporting those in need. One experience especially reflects her character. A teenage girl in Nigeria was pregnant with twins and overwhelmed, with no clear support system. When Sharon learned of the situation, she immediately stepped in to help. She contributed financially, but more importantly, she was determined to secure lasting support for the mother and babies. Sharon worked tirelessly until she located an organization in Nigeria that could provide ongoing care and assistance. Her urgency stemmed from genuine compassion and a sincere desire to ensure those children were safe and cared for. Sharon consistently goes the extra mile for others, especially children. Her compassion, courage, and willingness to act embody the true spirit of the DAISY Award, and I wholeheartedly believe she deserves this honor.
