Sheila Doreen Kelly Wise is a native of Brooklyn, New York and holds dual citizenship in the United States and in the Republic of Panama, Central America.

A former high school English teacher and English adjunct professor, Sheila has taught freshman and sophomore English Composition and Rhetoric, Introduction to Literature, and Developmental Reading and Writing for over ten years at Prince George’s Community College in Largo, Maryland, and at the College of Southern Maryland in LaPlata, Maryland.

Although spirituality and a relationship with the Lord has always been a major part of Sheila’s life, she gained a strong awareness of God during her years spent in Catholic boarding schools in Fall River, Massachusetts and in Kearney, New Jersey in the late 1970s. But it was not until years later that Sheila learned about the integral nature of God’s Holy Spirt and the major role that His Spirit plays in our daily lives.

Sheila enjoys spending time with her husband of 22 years, and her son Ronald Jr., daughter, Jasmine Kelly, and grandchildren: Alicia, Anthony, Mark, DeAngelo, and Montana.
