Her Interview
Ten minutes with Sheri
01What do you attribute your success to?
My drive is to help sincerely help other women. I was fortunate I did not go to university or to college. I have a high school degree. And I made some smart investments and I have done well and I'm at that point in my life where it's time to give back and I want to see other women succeed and do more with their lives. I raised two daughters on my own. They received a very good education and University of Pennsylvania and they I won with a PhD and I want them to do the same thing and I want to lead by example so they can see what I'm doing they will then pass that on to help other women.
