News is one of the biggest departments in the station, so it was key that the budget was carefully crafted. Sherry's collaborative style, organization skills and clear communication made sure we nailed it while also making the process a joy.

Sherry was a great leader and financial steward for WMFE. She is a very dedicated employee whose top priority is to get the job done right. She pays great attention to detail an important quality in a CFO. I enjoyed working with Sherry and wouldnt' hesitate to hire her for a similar job if the opportunity arose.
