Sharon is probably a friendly terminator from the future because during the time I worked for her, she was a force of nature that seemed as unstoppable as her smile. She was teaching, training and helping out all the time but nothing seemed to turn that infectious smile upside down. Her patience with kids is on par with Mother Theresa and her ability to adapt on the fly was inspiring to me. I wouldn't hesitate to work for her again or have her on my side when our robot overlords take over.

I have worked with Sharon for a year. I have worked with her in classrooms full of kids, in heated discussions on business or product direction, and all things in between. Sharon's enthusiasm and commitment are a boon to any student, parent, employer or colleague.
