Shelley is originally from Miami but has lived in many parts of the country ranging from the west coast to the east coast, Midwest, and southeast. As she manages the day-to-day operations of the office and is the go-to for all things HR, she notes each workday at Ability1st is an adventure.  Her favorite moments at Ability1st are the smiles, hugs, blessings, and appreciation she receives from consumers who have received the help needed to improve their quality of life. She is inspired by people who show love and understanding and by people who despite feeling weak or scared, step outside their comfort zone bravely. In her free time, Shelley loves to hang out at the beach, explore the outdoors and spend time with good friends and family. Lastly, Shelley is blessed with five children and a growing number of grandchildren whom she loves to spoil.
