"Sheryl become a professor and mentor to me when I decided to make a career change into the Meetings and Events Industry. Throughout the entire process she provided industry best practice knowledge, networking opportunities and encouraged me to pursue my Masters degree at George Washington University as well as pursue my CGMP and CMP. Sheryl does an superb job providing career advice, constructive feedback and encouragement.

 

I also had the pleasure of working along side Sheryl as a colleague supporting two conferences in 2018 and 2019. I have witnessed Sheryl gain the professional respect of hotel staff, vendors, exhibitors, volunteers and the client to ensure a smooth experience for all stakeholders and attendees. Sheryl treats everyone with respect and goes above and beyond to ensure the event will be successful.

 

Sheryl is an excellent teacher as she makes the material relatable while also providing appropriate rigor to challenge the student. If provided the opportunity I would not hesitate to work with Sheryl on future projects. I am grateful and honored to call her my mentor. "
