What Others are Saying

Testimonials
John Montemayor

I oversee leadership development at USC Upstate and I had Sheliah speak about leadership, getting involved, and giving back to the community.

“My group of freshman leaders and their upperclassmen mentors were very engaged as Sheliah talked about subject matters that were very relatable to their everyday lives. Her real-life experiences both as a student and now as a successful professional inspired our students and gave them a plan and direction on how to succeed.”

- John Montemayor, M.Ed, Assistant Director of Student Life, USC Upstate
