Shari Wilson, FNP–C, grew up in Clute, Texas, with her parents and four sisters. Today, she enjoys a fulfilling life with her husband and their three children. Shari’s upbringing was filled with sports, inspired by her family’s legacy in women’s fast–pitch softball. Her grandfather started the sport in Freeport, Texas, and Shari’s mother and aunts were actively involved, sparking her passion for athletics from an early age.
Outside of her professional life, Shari has a vibrant array of hobbies, including traveling, tending to her plants, enjoying wine, hunting, and caring for her cows and dogs. She finds joy in entertaining friends and family, where gatherings often revolve around food, drinks, and shared laughter. Despite her love for many outdoor activities, Shari is not fond of boats or being on the water! She deeply values compassion, kindness, and hard work, guided by the belief that everyone deserves to be treated with respect and dignity.
Shari’s educational journey began at Brazosport College right after high school, but life took a different turn when she started her family, putting her studies on hold until 2007. She earned her Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) from Alvin Community College in 2009, followed by a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) in 2013 from Grand Canyon University. In 2019, she completed her Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, Texas.

Throughout her career, Shari has learned from both positive and challenging experiences, each shaping her approach to patient care.
One of the most rewarding aspects of her career is witnessing patients achieve their health goals, knowing she played a role in their journey.
