A year in the military, seven years as a stay-at-home mother, and four years in corporate America taught Sheryle to seek purpose and to value meaningful work. In late 2010, she joined CauseLabs, a software development company working with non-profits and social enterprises to scale their missions. It blended her experience with technology with her passion for giving back.<\/p>\n
Today, in addition to her role as CauseLabs CEO, Sheryle serves on three advisory boards, United Way of Tarrant County’s social innovation committee, and is in her 10th year as a Girl Scout leader. Sheryle is also co-founder and purpose ambassador of PurposeWP, a WordPress-based company that helps non-profits with their online presence.<\/p>\n
Sheryle is a 2017 DBJ 40 Under 40 and speaks at conferences around the world including our 2014 and 2016 editions of WordCamp DFW.<\/p>\n
“I took things that I loved and turned them into my career,” Sheryle said. “At WordCamp I see hundreds of people doing just that in our community. The simple fact that they have the opportunity and support to do so is inspiring. We all start with just one project, one theme, or one line of code, but having the support of others and being open to the collaboration amongst those you’ll meet can change your future. It can build a business or help you find your own way of giving back.”<\/p>\n
