"WE LOVE SHONDRA. I literally don’t know what we would have done without her. She is so helpful, so professional, flexible and really just a wonderful person to work with. She made my husband and me, and our son, Owen, feel completely at ease. I needed my hand held and she has no issues doing that. I trusted her 100% and she was able to get my son applied to colleges early! If you know my son, you would see how big that is ;) SSCC is also working with a few of my friends’ children and all are having positive experiences. Really, I can’t say enough great things about her and her company. Highly recommend Steele Street!"
