As assistant dean of external relations, Sherron oversees alumni relations, the communications and marketing department and serves as a liaison to the Campbell Law Alumni Association in addition to managing the Campbell Law Connections mentorship program.
In 2017, Triangle Business Journal awarded Sherron with its 40 Under 40 Award. Three years prior, the same publication presented her with its 2014 Women in Business Award.

She then attended Campbell Law School, spending time as a student at both the Buies Creek and Raleigh campuses prior to graduating in 2010. As a student she served as a consulting editor for the Campbell Law Review, president of the Christian Legal Society, competed in moot court competitions and was a research assistant for Professors Jean Cary and Greg Wallace. She was also a legal research and writing scholar.
Sherron served as an associate attorney at Martin & Jones in Raleigh from 2010-12, representing clients in personal injury, products liability and medical malpractice cases.
