"Hi, my name is Sheryl. I come from India and I live in New Delhi, the capital. I have been working in this field of Education Management for the past three years and love being able to guide aspiring students in choosing a good program and University to pursue their Higher Education abroad. Nothing is more comforting to a student full of questions, than knowing that there is someone who can guide you to the right direction, answer all your queries and help you to choose the right University. Studying abroad opens up so many opportunities for one to learn, grow as an individual, and meet different kinds of new people.
Currently, I am studying for a Master's in English. I have a flair for creativity and writing skills and languages as well. Languages that I speak are English, Hindi, Spanish and Bengali. I also have a good understanding of two other Indian regional languages: Kannada and Oriya.
I would be more than happy to help and guide you in this process; one of the most important phases of life – Education. I look forward to hearing from you!"

"I was raised in upstate New York and moved to New York City after University to work. I majored in Music (Piano Performance and Pedagogy). Attending a music school exposed me to a lot of international students. It gave me an idea of what it was like for them to study in a foreign country and the different issues they had to deal with. I have worked for Study Group since 2007. I worked in Student Services before becoming an Admissions Manager.
I enjoy learning more about students from all over the world. Higher Education is an important and memorable part of many people's lives. I'm here to help students through the university application process. Applying to US colleges isn't always easy, but I'm here to make it as smooth as possible. I look forward to helping students realize their dreams by assisting with university admission and answering questions."

"I work in Study Group's International Admissions Center for US universities, and have been with the company since 2007. I handle every Pacific Lutheran University application we receive from China, and assist Chinese university students during their stay in the United States when they need help with anything from class registration and housing changes to tuition payments and insurance claims.
After living two years abroad in Istanbul, where I worked helping students from Russia, Kazakhstan, Europe and Africa who wanted to learn English or go to university in America, I returned to New York.
I am here to help you find the right path for your academic future, and I am confident that based on our strong relationships with Pacific Lutheran University, you will have a successful experience! I look forward to speaking with you."
