Additional Information

Sharon Coleman, JD’s Interests:

Reading is my first love. I love books on topics such as psychology, nutrition, biographies, the history of religion, other cultures, and techniques for enhancing personal achievement. I love writing, international travel, museums of any kind, and swimming. Music is also a passion. I took classical voice lessons for 9 years and played the violin from ages 9 - 21. You can ask me to sing - but please don't ask me to play the violin!
