Currently anchoring the long-time #1 CBS 6 News at Noon, in August 2009 Cheryl also rejoined "Virginia This Morning", as co-host of the 9-10 a.m. live weekday Talk/Entertainment show. Cheryl co-hosted the inaugural year of the show from 2006-2007.

She spends many nights and weekends hosting or speaking at community events, emceeing pageants, and making many other personal appearances. Cheryl has also narrated a planetarium show for the Science Museum of Virginia.
Cheryl says one of the fun highlights of her CBS 6 career was a speaking role (2004) on CBS's longest-running daytime drama, "Guiding Light", which ended a 72-year run in September 2009. She was able to do that while taking viewers behind the scenes on the popular "soap".
