Meet Sherry Donald - an interview with our receptionist

Before working at Bullock Law, what was the most unusual or interesting job you’ve ever had?

Prior to working at Bullock Law, I worked at a tropical plant store for a little over a year. I have a love for flowers and gardening, so I figured why not? I gained valuable knowledge of various plants and added quite a few to my personal collection. I am thankful they took a chance on me, and for the relationships I formed from my time spent there.

Favorite travel spot or Vacation?

This is a tough one as I enjoy travelling and I have made some great memories in some special places. The one that sticks out for me was a trip my family took to Mexico to celebrate a family members birthday a few years ago.  We were a large group and enjoyed activities such as snorkelling, which for me was a first. I am afraid of water and cannot swim, so I was very reluctant to try it, but our tour guide convinced me, and took me out personally- it was an amazing experience! I am glad he persuaded me to go out of my comfort zone.

We also participated in a sea turtle release, which was very special as I have been a huge turtle lover since I was a kid. It was surreal to dig up a live baby turtle, and watch those tiny reptiles make there way to the ocean to start their journeys. Talk about overcoming obstacles!

I am forever grateful I was able to share these experiences with my family and friends.  

What is your favorite movie or book?

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. if you haven’t seen it, give it a Google. The story is so unique.

Cats or Dogs?

I grew up with both cats and dogs around our acreage, but dogs have my heart.

From the time my husband and I purchased our first home 23 years ago we’ve had dogs. Currently we have an English Bulldog name Winston. He’s almost 11 years young and a fixture in our lives. Our kids have grown up with him and he gives us unconditional love. Our dogs have taught me patience, kindness and they have just been great companion animals.

What is the most important thing you have learned in the last five years?

I have learned that time is so valuable, so take chances and try new things!  I am also learning firsthand that kids grow up fast, so enjoy all the little moments. They really are the big ones.
