Meet Sherrie ...

I am a Gillette native and have been with the Council for 7 years. I started as the Intake Specialist and now oversee Emergency Assistance and am the Campbell County Section 8 Intake Agent.  I really enjoy helping people to better their situation when they are struggling.  We have such great programs that are all so important and beneficial.      

When I’m not at work or home with my 2 cats, I love to get outside.  You can find me camping and fishing at the lake or in the mountains.
