Meet Sherie!

January 7, 2025

A face Hinchinbrook knows and loves, Sherie Hensler-Adams has joined the Life Publishing Group team with the position of Sales Account Manager for Hinchinbrook Life Newspaper!

A local through and through, Sherie has lived in Hinchinbrook for 42 years after moving to the area in her primary school days and has since married a local boy and raised a family.

Her daughter now teaches close to home as a secondary educator in Gilroy, and her son works in the mining industry. Sherie enjoys and values spending her downtime with her adult children and many pets! Along with currently pet sitting a pup for her son, Sherie’s home is a hive of activity with two dogs, two cats, and three chickens forever keeping her on her toes as well as her casual green thumb endeavours.

When Sherie isn’t wearing her Sales Account Manager hat, she enjoys spending time outdoors no matter the activity, whether its boating, fishing, jet skiing or venturing on a leisurely camping trip with her family and friends.

Sherie was the Sales Account Manager for the former Herbert River Express up until the newspaper ceased publishment in 2020, and in her eight wonderful years with the local paper, she honed her skills and discovered her passion for the position. In having the opportunity to publish the news of the region once again, Sherie was more than excited to become part of the Hinchinbrook Life Newspaper team, explaining that helping to bring the publishment to the region means the world.

“As we’re a small community, we really need a local newspaper that’s a community-based newspaper,” shared Sherie.

“It’s a great thing that there’s one here again, and the Hinchinbrook Life Newspaper is a very positive newspaper, and that’s what I like about it.”

Members of the community are more than welcome to reach out to Sherie on 0498 589 226 or via email to sherie@lifepublishinggroup.com to discuss any advertising inquires.
