Cheryl Wilson

High School CTE Teacher

With 15 years of industry experience in architecture, I made the decision to return to the University of Wyoming to pursue a Bachelor's degree in CTE Education. Originally from Texas, I moved to Wyoming in 2001 and quickly knew it would be home. In 2006, I earned a degree in drafting and design from Casper College. My passion lies in bringing real-world experience into the classroom, enriching student learning with practical insights. As an active member of WACTE, I value opportunities for professional growth and collaboration with like-minded educators dedicated to lifelong learning.

In my spare time, I love to read and bake. I enjoy spending time with my husband and two children. We love spending time in the Big Horn Mountains hiking and fly fishing, as well as traveling to visit family around the country.
