Sherisse exhibits selfless leadership with compassion and an eagerness to execute a project beyond expectations. Having worked with her in the industry on multiple projects of varying scales, I can recommend with the utmost confidence that Sherisse is a qualified candidate for exemplary leadership.
Sherisse has already established herself as a driven, creative innovator. She runs her own magazine, Deliberate Magazine: writing articles, organizing photo shoots, managing a team of writers while maintaining a strong social media presence on multiple platforms. She is involved at every level, from concepts to distribution; she oversees and refines the entire production. Part of her success can be attributed to her intense curiosity to learn new skills and pursue knowledge in creative areas with which she is unfamiliar. For example, rather than hiring an independent designer, Sherisse saw her need for magazine graphic art as an opportunity to be proficient in new software programs. When she was pressed for a deadline to release photos that had yet to be edited, she watched tutorials and taught herself Photoshop, InDesign, and Lightroom. Not only does she wear many hats, but she is also able to efficiently track and execute all of her magazine elements’ progression and meets every deadline.
One of the many traits that make Sherisse a remarkable leader is her profound aptitude to confront setbacks with ideas. She embraces any and every opportunity to help others and will be the first to initiate the search to find a better solution to a problem. On a recent project, I brought Sherisse on to a group photo-shoot as a stylist. There were nine models, and each had seven or eight costume changes. I gave Sherisse a generalized style guide with reference images, and she took it upon herself to travel to each person’s home and go through their closets individually. From the visits, she compiled personal lookbooks and additionally generated a spreadsheet so everyone could see the individual looks grouped as a whole. The models that we not confident in their wardrobe selections she took shopping or would scout clothes in her spare time and send pictures. During the photo shoot, Sherisse assisted in not only dressing but stepped up to supporting hair and makeup and went as far as to be a second photographer when we were pressed for time. The three-day shoot only required Sherisse to be there for one day, but she commuted an hour and a half round trip every day wholly unsolicited and stepped up to help wherever she saw a need. Sherisse leads through action and by example: she is consistently on the move, offering help wherever she sees a need and consistently brings positive energy, enthusiasm, and ideas. Her upbeat and charismatic attitude is both contagious and inspiring. She approaches conflicts with patience and obstacles with steady resilience. She is an invaluable asset to any project, consistently a great role model with an even higher character.
