Sharise became highly sporting while attending a local high school, as she played soccer for her school’s team, and also enjoyed dancing, playing volleyball and wrestling.

She matriculated in 1983, and then chose not to pursue a college degree, but to move to Los Angeles, California and pursue a career in modelling.
