Perhaps most remarkable is the eclectic path that led her to become a culture expert. Cheria started working at the age of eight as a professional vocalist, taking a break only to study theology in college. She returned to music, touring the world with renowned artists as a background vocalist. In time, she took a major career pivot into nonprofit work, first on the social services side and then into fundraising. She codified her work as a culture architect when she led innovation at the #1 health charity in the country and helped them land the No. 1 spot on Fast Company's Workplace for Innovators list. Soon after, she became the Head of Culture for the fastest-growing marketing firm in the world before scaling her impact with the launch of Grow There.
