Shaneiree-Bio

The Business Development Connector

Shaneiree has always had a knack for connecting people, places, and things while also influencing through training and coaching. When she decided that she wanted to help connect the importance of relationship-building to leadership, she decided to get further training.

Eleven years ago, her MSOD Capstone centered on the importance of virtual learning, a necessity which she advocated for at the time due to having given birth prematurely to her daughter and needing to continue her studies remotely. This led her to become the very first student, woman, and person of color to start and complete a virtual learning experience at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine.

So, she understands the importance of leadership development at all levels within an organization, whether virtually or in person.
Shaneiree holds an MBA in Finance from Strayer University and an MSc in Organizational Development and Leadership (MSODL) from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM). She also has a Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt Certification and a Certificate in Training and Development from PCOM.
Her perspective for never seeing “a box” and truly connecting is what makes The Dames Group more effective at leadership development than any other learning consultancy.
