Her career has spanned civil rights, constituent services, employment, housing and economic development, and community health.
Sherry joined Tufts Medical Center in 2002, overseeing community benefits reporting and
program development and implementation, building community partnerships and programs to promote the physical, social and emotional health and strengthening community engagement in the communities in which we reside and serve. Prior to that she worked in state and local government, at the Attorney General’s Office, Civil Rights Division, focusing on disability rights, in the Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Services, Office of Human Resources, and the Boston Redevelopment Authority (now BPDA).
