Cheryl's Story

When you express to the world:

this is what I do, this is what I know,

this is what I'm here for, I'm available,

 then you set up some dynamic.

Things come.

                                                                                    —Lee Glickenstein 

                                                                                       (Quoted in "Callings" by Gregg Levoy)

 

 

 

Welcome to my story. I sing inspirational songs and write essays as an advocate for various health and social causes. I attended universities in Los Angeles, earning a master's degree in communications and an undergraduate degree in economics.  

 

In 2001, I answered an ad for a presenter on the popular TV show Jeopardy! Amazingly, I became one of the four original positions on the Clue Crew from auditions with 5,000 entrants.

 

Within a few months of reporting to work, my young son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. We faced these challenges with the love of family and friends and faith.

 

For seven adventurous years, I appeared on the show in video clips taped from across the United States and internationally. I toured cultural, historic, and scientific locations in 12 countries and 35 states. I now apply my media experience in a communications consultancy.

 

I live by the adage, “To whom much is given, much is expected.” My experiences matter only to the extent that others can benefit from them. This inspired the recording of “Promise to Remember Me” on behalf of children like my son.
