Sharon is one of the warmest, most organized individuals I have come across in my career. Her smile is contagious and her personality unforgettable. Her professionalism shines through in all she does and her sincerity never ending,

Amanda L. Cash, MSOD

Sharon is such a warm and authentic individual. She embraces diversity and embodies open-mindedness. I had the pleasure of collaborating with Sharon while at Queens University. Not only did she proactively advise and counsel me in her role as Assistant Admissions Director, she was also a fellow classmate and project team member. Sharon is thoughtful, well organized, and highly effective at integrating multiple perspectives into a shared goal.
