Bio
Susan Loskota, PMP
I worked for Cheryl as a User Acceptance Tester. Cheryl has the ability to manage, encourage, and motivate her team members. Cheryl uses her management skills and technical knowledge to not only support her team but to support and meet the company goals. Cheryl’s, mentorship inspired me to not only work and exceed as a team member but to take the next step in my career and become a Certified Project Manager. It would be a great pleasure to have the opportunity to work for or with Cheryl again.
Paul Stallings
I worked directly with Cheryl for three years, and continue to work indirectly with her in her current role. Cheryl managed the testing resources within our User Acceptance Testing team until this function was recently re-organized. Cheryl was hired to create the testing team through internal and external recruiting. She quickly identified the right mix of talent and had the UAT Tester team up and running within weeks. Over the next three years, Cheryl defined standard operating procedures, refined the role of her team, adjusted to changes in the business environment, and motivated her team to a level of performance excellence that surpassed expectations. Cheryl conducts herself with the highest level of professionalism. Her positive attitude and level of commitment are always an example to her team, her peers, and her leadership.

Author

Nov 2018 - Present
Two books of mine are available now for pre-order on Amazon in Kindle and paperback formats. The paperback format should be available for order on the publication date of Monday, September 23 but is not listed just yet as it is still in the final review process. The first book is titled Rare Coins: A Collection of Short Stories. It contains three novelettes and seven short stories that cover a wide range of tones from light and humorous to dark and horrific including the short story 'Red Sky at Dawn' published in the winter edition of eMerge Magazine, the online magazine of the Writer's Colony at Dairy Hollow. The second book is my debut novel titled Corpocracy. In this dystopian look at a not too distant future the utopian aspects of a corporately controlled government are revealed to have a much darker underside as a young idealistic man, Adam Miller, questions a future for a family in this setting. As I am a new author on Amazon you may need to search by a combination of name and title to locate the books. With time and some reviews I hope to be a little easier to search.
