She was handpicked by Senior Leadership for (5) different job-challenges throughout her tenure with the Supply Squadron, known for her no nonsense business approach, Shari clearly demonstrated what effect superior leadership and management skills can produce and bring to the forefront. With each challenge, she rose to the occasion and surpassed expectations with ease.
