Bio

Hello, my name is Shelby. I am a single mother pursuing a Master of Business Administration with a concentration in Data Analytics. I earned my Bachelor of Science from Wayne State College in 2018, where I double majored in psychology and human services and counseling. I currently work as a Systems of Care Coordinator at Lewis & Clark Behavioral Health Services, where I support families by assessing service needs, coordinating care, monitoring progress, and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams. I am pursuing my MBA to expand my knowledge of business operations and data-driven decision-making. My goal is to use my experience working with people to help improve services. In my free time I enjoy reading, hiking, crocheting, running, and spending time with my son, Jack. I am also passionate about charity and community involvement and I enjoy participating in charitable fundraising events.
