Sheila Akbar, PhD

“I had the pleasure of working with Sheila during a very important phase of life. As my family started to look at the process of college election for our HS senior, we quickly realized there are so many considerations that impact the final outcome. Shelia took us by the hand, established a high level of trust, and walked the entire journey beside us. She went above and beyond to ensure all our needs were met. She stood on the front line protecting us from those that prey on families who struggle to sort it all out. As a result of trust, and a willingness to be led by an upstanding professional, my senior has been accepted into all colleges that we applied to (thus far). There are no words that can express the level of gratitude we have for Shelia. If you want to engage with professionals that provide a high level of knowledge, critical insight, honesty, integrity, and results, I recommend you work with Shelia and her team at Signet Education.”

“Sheila and I have worked together for over 10 years now at Signet Education. She started as one of our educators, and very quickly became an invaluable team member. Sheila has consistently been able to take on new roles at Signet, help to define success for those roles, and then effectively delegate those roles to the the right people she finds to fill her seat. She now is Signet's President/COO (and co-owner), and she has brought discipline, creativity, focus, and joy to our organization. If Sheila is on your team, she's the type of person that is 100% "in." She acts and thinks like an owner in whatever context she's in, while also knowing how to ask for help and work effectively with the resources available to her to accomplish a goal. It seems like nothing is above her, but also nothing is below her as well -- she's competent, capable, and gets the job done! I cannot recommend Sheila highly enough. Working with her as a partner and owner at Signet has been one of the great joys of my career!”
