Frequently recognized for her other television credits, including the CW network series Kung Fu, Batwoman, and Riverdale, NBC's Blindspot, and Ava DuVernay's limited series The Red Line, she has also scored numerous feature films, documentaries, and commercials. Recent film credits include Warner Bros Studio's Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase, and The Lost Husband, the latter which garnered her a Society of Composers and Lyricists nomination for Best Score for an Independent Studio Film. She also composed the score for The Other Side of Home, which was shortlisted in the 2017 Oscars for Best Short Documentary. Her outstanding work has not gone unnoticed, as Sherri is a 2024 nominee for the IFMCA Breakthrough Composer of the Year.
