About Sharlene Hawkes Born in Asunción, Paraguay the 5th of 7 children, Sharlene (Wells) Hawkes spent 12 years of her young life in South America, including most of her high school years in Buenos Aires, Argentina. While there, she lettered in volleyball, swimming, softball, and captained the track team. Her family moved to the United States just before her senior year of high school. In 1984, Sharlene played the Paraguayan harp and sang in Spanish for her talent presentation at the Miss America pageant in Atlantic City. Traveling nearly 250,000 miles that year, she often relied on her fluent Spanish as the only foreign-born and bilingual Miss America in the pageant's history. In the fall of 1985, Sharlene returned to her studies at Brigham Young University where she not only graduated magna cum laude, but received the Earl J. Glade award as the Outstanding Senior in Broadcasting, and the Silver Microphone Award for having the top cumulative GPA in the Communications Department. Immediately after graduation in 1988, she and her new husband Bob moved to Connecticut where she worked for ESPN as the host of "Scholastic Sports America", a weekly half-hour program. She moved from that assignment to many others, covering everything from College Football to World Cup soccer, the Kentucky Derby to the French Open. Her work at ESPN earned her national recognition including the Women's Sports Journalism award and an Emmy nomination. In 1995, after ten years as a sports broadcaster, Sharlene chose to make the change from full-time to free-lance in order to spend more time with her young family. In 1998, she became a professional member of the National Speakers Association, committing herself to excellence along another exciting career path. Sharlene is actively involved in community service, such as Utah's 1999 Honorary Chairman of the American Cancer Society, member of the Governor's Charter School Task Force, the Davis School District Task Force for gifted children, board member and national advisory panelist for the Utah Tip-Off Club, member of the Utah and National Music Teachers Association, advisory board member of the Utah Regional Ballet, and an active member of the Reading Elementary PTA. But most importantly, Sharlene, her husband Bob and their four children love spending time together, whether it's outdoors skiing, camping, biking, horseback riding or just exploring the world!
