About Sheryl:
As a Career Counselor, I am particularly passionate about working with women and underserved communities, and helping college students build confidence and find their voice. I have experience working at a variety of institutions, and have been part of teams building new and innovative, identity informed, career programs at Bottom Line, Wellesley College, and now Tufts University. What energizes me most these days is helping others build resilience, emotional intelligence, and cultivate the professional agility that we all need as we launch into the future, both for ourselves and for those we work with. Since the beginning of my professional journey, the CCC has been a wonderful resource to join community and develop as a professional, and I am thrilled to continue my involvement in this organization and continue to be an advocate for personal and professional growth.
