Born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Sharon was schooled in Catholic elementary and secondary schools. After graduating from St. Mary's University with degrees in English, Political Science (BA) and a Bachelor of Education, she taught in Halifax schools until she became Executive Director of Junior Achievement of Mainland Nova Scotia.
In 1983, Sharon moved to Ontario to become National Program Director of Junior Achievement of Canada. In this role she sat on provincial education committees and worked with both national and provincial boards. She was also responsible for curriculum development for national Junior Achievement programs that became part of curricula in many school boards across Canada.
After leaving this full-time position, Sharon ran a special event planning business and served as a curriculum consultant and writer for Junior Achievement. She has continued to write and now works with the School Advocate as a copy editor.
Sharon is a dedicated supporter of Catholic education and has sat on several school councils and committees over the last 14 years. She has also served as chair of the Central Committee for Catholic School Councils.
Her role in education in Dufferin-Peel has been that of an advocate and cheerleader for Catholic schools, parents, staff and most of all, students. She has a passion for theatre, music, good books and humour. Sharon and her family, husband George Habib, and three children, are members of St. Ignatius of Loyola Parish in Mississauga.
“I am thrilled to have completed my first year as your trustee and I look forward to continuing my work with our school communities, fellow trustees and school board staff."
