Meet The Leaders

Sharon Emling
Chicktime Akron Managing Leader

Why I serve a leadership role with Chicktime:

I have always had a calling in working with youth. As a special educator and then working in the university setting mentoring future teachers, Chicktime is the perfect fit! I found Chicktime on Volunteer Match website. As the leadership team was transitioning during that time, I was eager to jump aboard.  It’s taken a few months to find a strong leadership team, but I’m excited to see what we can do together to serve the young women at Safe Landing.

My hobbies and interests:

My husband, Larry and I were high school sweethearts and have been married for 41 years. We have three adult sons and five grandchildren.  As my grandkids live in Texas and Missouri, we spend a lot of our time traveling to visit (and babysit)!  I enjoy traveling, hiking and reading. I love CrossFit, puzzles and games, and crafting.  I have a 4 year old Retriever/Border Collie puppy that keeps me on my toes!

My passions and gifts: 
I grew up in the Cleveland area, so I’ve always rooted for the underdog! IYKYK 
I was given the gift of teaching and feel passionately that all children should be accepted and seen for the unique gifts and talents they possess.  I am creative and like organizational tasks. I believe God has lead me on this path and has more in store for me to learn as I venture out into new growth opportunities.

Why do I serve in a leadership role with Chicktime:
The moment I learned about the mission of Chicktime I knew I wanted to be involved. I have done similar types of volunteer work in the past and I believe that with my experiences, dedication and commitment to making a change I can help the Akron Chicktime succeed in changing lives. 
 
What are my hobbies and interests
I love to read, cook, watch sports (basketball is my favorite) and just spend time with my family. My husband Rick and I have been married for 25 years and we have one daughter. Our little family loves being together and spending time with our two mini dachshunds.
 
What are my passions and gifts:
I am a teacher, I am very passionate about educating kids and helping them meet their potential. I have done volunteer work my entire life, I full heartedly believe in leading by example and volunteering has helped me accomplish that.

Why I serve a leadership role with Chicktime:

During my working life I had many “care-giving” type jobs, and one thing I learned is “You can’t give what you don’t have”. Helping others “have” what they need to live fulfilling, productive, loving lives is important to me.

My Passions and Gifts:

I am a teacher at heart!  I like to work with others who want to make a difference in the world around us.  

My hobbies and interests:

I love time spent with my husband and our extended family. My hobbies include fiber arts (spinning my own yarn and knitting), sewing, baking, gardening and occasional camping trips. Missy, Tasha and Sam, our three Corgis, play a large part of my everyday life.

Why I serve a leadership role with Chicktime:

I enjoy working with others. I’ve spent my life (since being a young adult) helping others and working to help them see their full potential. Every career job that I’ve had has always been about helping a person learn more about themselves and showing them that they could do different, be different and want different. 

My hobbies and interests:

I love to travel, cook, read, meditate, look at fashion, do interior design, and watch sports. My favorite sports are basketball, football and boxing.

My passions and gifts:
I love going to different restaurants and trying their foods with my girlfriends or kids. I have 3 girls who are all 7 1/2 years apart. I recently got a cat named Wynter that I absolutely love.
