Biography image of Sheere, glowing with gratitude in the California desert.

With more than 25 years of program and project management experience, Sheere specializes in helping California school districts navigate the complexities of educational facility planning for bond-funded programs and projects. She partners with districts to optimize resources, streamline procurement, and ensure the successful execution of capital improvement initiatives.

She has supported clients on more than $3 billion in bond-funded programs and projects. Her deep understanding of public procurement regulations—such as the Public Contract Code, California Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act, Lease-Leaseback, Design-Bid-Build, and Multi-Prime delivery methods—ensures compliance and efficiency at every stage of the process.

Known for her collaborative leadership and strategic insight, Sheere works closely with school district leaders and stakeholders to align project goals with community needs. Her ability to foster meaningful engagement and establish effective governance structures supports informed decision-making and strengthens the development of learning environments for students and educators alike.

For over two decades, she has been a trusted advocate for California schools, leveraging her industry expertise to deliver innovative, cost-effective solutions. Her unwavering commitment to client success makes her a valued partner in transforming educational spaces for future generations.

Her journey into construction began during her time with Disney Imagineering, where she worked as an administrative professional supporting the development of the California Adventure Theme Park. After the project concluded, she discovered her passion for the construction industry—bringing vision to life by transforming raw land into functional, impactful spaces.

She then transitioned into consulting for school districts, where her expertise was quickly recognized, leading to new opportunities for growth and increasingly complex projects. In 2017, she took a bold step in founding SMB Management Services. Since then, she has built a strong reputation for excellence, securing long-term partnerships with school district clients and establishing herself as a respected leader in the industry.
