About Cheryl Roper

Cheryl grew up in New Mexico, but has since lived in New York, Connecticut, and Nebraska before moving back to the West about a year ago. She has four kids ranging in age from 3 to 10. They are talented and funny and are the source of some of her greatest challenges and her most beautiful blessings! She has been a stay-at-home mom since her oldest was born until she started back at school part-time last semester. She graduated from BYU several years ago with a degree in Fitness and Wellness and decided in January of this year that she would really like to become a physical therapist assistant. Cheryl is lucky to have a husband who is very supportive and encouraging. He has been her rock as they have confronted all the twists and turns of life together, including mental illness and she can’t imagine where she would be without him. She loves everything health and fitness related, especially competing in running and triathlon races. She is passionate about food (both preparing and eating it!), people, rain, a clean house, the beautiful outdoors, and reading a good book.
