The Team
Sheri
Hola! I'm Sheri AKA Mami, a very Mexican girl 🌮 from Cancun who relocated to the US four years ago. Travel is my lover, I've explored over 10 countries, and each experience has expanded my love for adventure and connection.
With a career at Wix , I can’t wait to blend my international flare and digital expertise to bring a fresh perspective to Cedar Rapids!
I'm super excited to bring my enthusiasm (some people call it sillyness) into creating unforgettable moments at The Sandlot!
My goal is to blend my global perspective with the deep appreciation I have for our local community.
Jenna
My name is Jenna AKA “Güera”👱♀️, and I’m a 22 year old photographer/ videographer turned bar owner! With 4 years in the bar industry and recently backpacking through 5 countries in Central and South America, I’ve learned that bars hold a special kind of magic. You meet new friends, listen to new music and some even cope with the world there. It’s amazing to say that regardless of what side of the bar I’m on or what country I’m in, everybody speaks 2 languages: food and music.
What does this have to do with me? Well, I’m a self proclaimed foodie and music fanatic. At the Sandlot, I’m bringing both passions to life! From Southern BBQ to Latin flavors, we’re teaming up with local food trucks to serve up a storm. And as for the tunes? Expect a global playlist that’ll make you wanna dance. Our mission is to create a space where adults can kick back and feel like kids again. So, why jet off to Mexico when we can bring Sheri, I mean Mexico to you? Welcome to the Sandlot – where the only thing missing is the ocean
