Six Questions with Shelbey

Question 1: What excites you most about Leadership Tri-Cities?

I’m excited to learn more about my own leadership style and how I can become a better version of me. I love the new friends I’ve made already and am looking forward to getting to know each one better. 

I am also curious and excited to learn about the TC from the session day speakers.

Question 2: If you could meet one person, who would it be? 

Princess Diana. I have always been intrigued by the British royalty.

Question 3: What word or sentence would people close to you use to describe you?

I go above and beyond to help those that I care about.

Question 4: What is one project you would be excited to work on in the Tri-Cities?

Mental health and grief support are topics near and dear to my heart. Whether it is youth or adult, the need is great in our community.

Question 5: My favorite spot in the Tri-Cities is:

On or anywhere near the Columbia River! And Wheathead Brewing! :)

Question 6: Something that deserves more recognition in the Tri-Cities is:

There needs to be more recognition for shopping locally. Whether it is a restaurant, boutique store or our small mom and pop winery, Tri-Citians need more encouragement to support local!
