About Sherrish Gaines

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." – Maya Angelou Hi, I’m Sherrish (pronounced share-ish)—a proud St. Pete native, dedicated community advocate, and mom. Throughout my time with the City of St. Petersburg, I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with various departments, organizations, businesses, and community members, allowing me to foster meaningful relationships across St. Pete and beyond. I am both passionate about community service, as well as deeply committed to developing impactful programming for youth, families, and the St. Pete community. I enjoy making a positive difference through program leadership and community events, and I pride myself in my ability to ensure every initiative I’m involved with is both effective and inclusive. I believe strongly in the power of connection and communication—engaging diverse audiences and promoting community programs that inspire, educate, and uplift. Let’s connect and work together to make a difference!
