The young entrepreneur works multiple businesses including the Cornwall Rooftop Café, as she breezes through this season as a newly engaged, mother-to-be.
Fiercely focused and determined to succeed in all areas of life she said, "I'd best describe myself as someone who thrives on challenges and constantly sets short and long term goals for myself."
"I’m always looking for an opportunity to do better and achieve greatness in all areas - including family, friends and business-wise"
"I'm not comfortable with settling, it drives me crazy when I feel like I’ve slowly stopped working on projects I've drawn out and set ahead."
With business at the forefront, Sheera loves to unwind by going on adventures both near and far.
She said, "I love learning new things, whether it's through travel experiences or simply reading inspirational books by some of my favourite authors & business mentors."
Sharing her perspective on women in business, she added, "Women of this bold new generation are qualified, capable, and passionate in the different roles in their lives.
Carefully balancing entrepreneurship, motherhood, and pursuing their passions are the main daily drive. And for this, it's constantly evolving."
"For all the working woman out there, we can be our own limitation. Be confident and comfortable in your strengths, don't hide from them. Respect will follow.
