our Founders

Sabrina Barroso and Shannon Schaeffer have come together to create Nice Ladies, a women's networking organization that is focused on promoting collaboration over competition. Nice Ladies is a community of women who are looking to support and uplift each other, rather than competing against each other. The organization provides a platform for women to connect with one another, share their experiences, and learn from one another. By emphasizing collaboration, Nice Ladies is helping to break down the barriers that can often prevent women from succeeding in their careers and personal lives. Through their efforts, Sabrina and Shannon are helping to create a more supportive and inclusive environment for women in the professional world.
