Sharon Damore is a highly professional Montessori consultant and a joy to work with!  She and the Metro team were essential in assisting us in navigating our search for a head of school.  Sharon is uniquely qualified to work with all constituents (faculty, parents, and administration).  She worked tirelessly to bring forth extremely talented candidates for us to interview.  She guided us successfully through the interviewing and selection process.

Metro Consulting has truly changed my life.  They have helped me find not one, but two wonderful independent school leadership opportunities.  They have always encouraged me and have been positive role models when I was ready to start a new chapter in my career.  I cannot thank Sharon, Carla, and Ashley enough for everything they have done for me.
