Sharni is an admired female role model and strong ambassador both on and off the court. Sharni has strong family values and is an avid animal lover, having previously worked at the RSPCA.

Having just completed a life coaching course, Sharni’s passion is to help others and to prove that with a little hard work, that anything is possible.
