Cheryl Nichols is a Critical Care Registered Nurse at Kings County Hospital Center and Interfaith Medical Center both in Brooklyn, New York. Despite her years of working outside her homeland, she wishes to give back to her fellow Guyanese.

Hence, combining her caring and compassionate personality with her profession, Cheryl decided to give her full commitment to the work and mission of H.E.R.O.C. to assist cancer patients in their journey to give this dreaded disease the boot.
