Cheryl Geras attended Point Park College in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. After marrying at a young age, she continued her education in business and went on to build a career in the healthcare industry. For ten years she worked In Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance services, assisting convalescent patients ranging in age from 18 months to 100 years old.

This journey led her to become a passionate advocate for individuals and families affected by mental illness.
