“Sheila is one of the most impressive business owners I know. In addition to running an awesome company, she has always gone out of her way to help others. She has been a mentor of mine for years and it means the world to me to be able to turn to someone so accomplished when I have a question or need help. St. Louis is lucky to have someone like Sheila in their community and I highly recommend Sheila to anyone who is thinking about working with her. ”
