Our Story
Aly Markwell and Nicole Sharp first crossed paths as Foster Care Navigators and foster parent trainers—roles that quickly revealed their shared heart for families and passion for meaningful support. As moms themselves, they formed a genuine friendship rooted in encouragement, resilience, and a deep desire to walk alongside other parents. Over time, they recognized a growing need: parenting resources that not only reflect the latest research but are also grounded in real-life experience. From that need, SharpMark Family Collective was born. Built on compassion, knowledge, and a fierce belief in every parent’s potential, SharpMark exists to empower families to thrive—because parenting should be something you love, not just survive.
