General Discussions
It's time for our December SMILE Spotlight and this month we want to highlight the amazing work of KEYS Program Coordinator, Cheri Schmalz!
How did KEYS come into your life?
I was volunteering with an organization that collaborated with KEYS and when I witnessed the difference KEYS was making in the lives of so many families, I knew right then that I needed to be a part of it.
What is your favorite thing about working at KEYS?
My most favorite thing about "working" at KEYS is experiencing the joy we bring to others. It isn't work at all, but rather a passion about being part of a family of incredible people who are on a mission of bringing smiles to the families we support.
How long have you been with KEYS?
I have been with KEYS for nearly 14 years.
Do you have a favorite song/artist?
I have so many favorite artists across many genres, but I have to say, Lainey Wilson is my spirit animal. I would love to live my life on horseback, wearing a cowgirl hat, boots, and bell bottom pants, and giving the gift of music to the world!
Where are you from?
I grew up in the Endicott, NY area.
Fun facts about you!
I am blessed with a wonderful, kind, caring, amazing husband, Brian, who I have been married to for over 30 years. I am also blessed with a beautiful growing family - three sons and beyond. I'm a rescue mom who has a huge heart for animals... most especially dogs and horses. Other passions of mine are photography, music, traveling, writing, and seeing every sunrise and sunset possible.
If you see Cheri this month be sure to thank her for all of her hard work creating SO MANY SMILES this holiday season and all year long! THANK YOU Cheri for all you do!
