In 2010, Sherrie found herself with artistic passions and a desire to travel outside the US. Between April 2010 and March 2013 she was able to take advantage of a break in corporate life. After two years of art classes, gallery shows and European travel, Sherrie discovered IEEW was in need of an Administrative Assistant. As synchronicity would have it, Terry Neese Personnel had connected Sherrie with her first office job while attending Southwestern Christian College. IEEW’s mission of empowering women through business fit perfectly with Sherrie’s philosophy.
