Sharon is the topic editor for botany; she was the botany feature writer for Suite 101 from 2008 to 2011. Botany is a topic which perfectly compliments Sharon's aromatherapy career. Understanding plants and how they "work" is crucial to understanding essential oils in aromatherapy too.

Sharon writes predominately in her topic editor section but in the past has contributed to additional topic areas such as aromatherapy, health, travel, wedding, fashion and business too, by using both personal and professional experience in these areas to write about "what she knows."

Sharon holds a UK graduate degree in Business and Accounting and has diplomas in both reflexology and aromatherapy. Sharon also has over 10 years experience of working in UK government health services. She traveled widely around the world (including Australia, New Zealand, Asia, Europe, Central America, the Caribbean, Canada and the United States) before moving to the United States in 2006; she now lives in northern Arizona.

She has guest posted on many blogs across the web about aromatherapy and plants. Sharon has received 16 Editor Choice Awards for her work with Suite 101.
