She is also on of the authors of Lessons on the Lake: An Educator's Guide to the Pontchartrain Basin. She has been a member of the Science Department at Nunez Community College since its formation in 1992 where she initially came to teach Louisiana Wetland Ecology. Other teaching duties throughout the years have included Marine Biology, Environmental Science, Human Anatomy and Physiology, Biology and Human Nutrition. In 1994 she and a colleague designed and implemented the first Environmental Technology degree program in the state of Louisiana.

Sharon was recently named the first Arts and Sciences Freeport-McMoRan Endowed Professor for her exemplary teaching and contributions to the college. Personal Interests: Sharon has a personal goal of finishing her Ph.D. within the next year. Home Depot has become a new "haunt" with the purchase of a house. When relaxing she can be found wearing hip boots and shouldering a camera in the marshes and swamps of south Louisiana. Possibly the most fun of all is taking others (students and teachers) out into the swamp, marshes and beaches of Louisiana! Contact information
