Shelley holds a degree in economics from Duke University, where she spent time at the Duke Marine Lab, and an MBA from Southwestern Oklahoma State University. Her varied experience includes studying lemurs at the Duke Primate Center, regulating water and wastewater utilities for the Florida Public Service Commission, advocating for the protection of the Florida coast and outer continental shelf in Governor Lawton Chiles' Environmental Policy Unit, and facilitating technology transfer at the Oklahoma Department of Commerce. She and her family have lived in Spartanburg since 1998, during which time she has been impressed with the Upstate's positive changes -- from the development of the Reedy River Greenway to the increasing emphasis on walking and biking in Spartanburg. Shelley and her husband, Scott, a composer and associate dean of the Petrie School of Music at Converse College, have two children, a dog, and a cat. Shelley enjoys biking, reading, and creating lopsided pottery.
