Sheridan Edley Is Now a Teacher – Her Life since Split from Jason Mraz

Sheridan Edley, Jason Mraz's ex-wife, has reinvented herself many times by building on her experience and qualifications, from working in government and finance to now being an expert in her field of special education.

With her Instagram set to private, Sheridan Edley has effectively kept the focus of curious fans chiefly away from her personal life. Her first husband, Jason Mraz, the singer, songwriter, and guitarist, also does not discuss their brief union.

Sheridan Edley was involved with musical activities in college and was a music teacher for a short while. The former couple did not have children together during their relationship in the early 2000s.

Sheridan Edley Is an 'Insatiable Learner'

Edley graduated from the prestigious Smith College, the liberal arts college for women, joining notable alumnae like Yolanda King, Barbara Bush, Sara Haines, Gloria Steinem, and Julia Child. She did a Bachelor of Arts in government and participated in the chorus and a cappella.

Based on her professional profile, where she refers to herself as an "insatiable learner, she" returned to school in 2008 and was awarded an M.A. in education from Antioch University-Los Angeles in 2012. Edley completed additional UC San Diego and the University of St Francis certifications.

She is also a certified Wilson Dyslexia Practitioner. An appearance as a businesswoman in the short film "Retracing Your Steps" 2010 marked her only on-camera work. Edley is a long-distance runner and tennis player.

Sheridan Edley Worked behind the Scenes in the Entertainment Industry

After a brief stint as an issues staff at the Illinois House of Representatives in 1997, Edley worked at Brown Rudnick in Boston as a banking and financial paralegal between 1998 and 2000.

The special needs teacher married Mark Geller.

Shortly after, she began her tenure at Warner Bros. Entertainment Group of Companies in California as a financial analyst in November 2000. She was a supervisor for financial contracts and reporting by the time she left the company in mid-2009.

Edley briefly left the entertainment industry and became an elementary school music teacher for the 2009/2010 school year but returned to her supervisory role at Warner Bros. for a few months.

The Smith alum returned to teaching in August 2011 and has worked at schools in Santa Monica and Encino in California and Chicago, Illinois. She was an assistant principal at Old St. Mary's School in Chicago, where she had been the school's learning specialist.

As of July 2023, Edley is a lower school teacher and dyslexia interventionist at The Jones-Gordon School in Paradise Valley, Arizona. The institution's website notes that she has an "unshakable belief" in her students' prospects.
