Design
She likes designs to be balanced and likes anything she creates, i.e. work, home, appearance and food to have a sense of flawless effort with great presentation. She really appreciates complex designs, however, she enjoys a clean simplistic aesthetic.
Professional
Incredible work ethic, globally business-minded, dependable, valuable asset and superlatives are just a few of the descriptors business leaders used in reference letters to explain the characteristics of Shelley.
Shelley is resourceful, loyal and thinks outside of the box. All qualities that will ensure trust, hard work and quality will be brought to the table. She respects the value of a dollar, time and people. If you want something accomplished, Shelley will take great pride in the task at hand. Once a goal is set in place, sit back and see what she can accomplish. A task master she is. Shelley knows how to exceed expectations.
Shelley is very big into brand building. She has seen first hand the importance of this, the massive success it can bring and knows how to treat, with respect, the team players involved to encourage the process. Give her the reins, and she will run.
Personal
Shelley likes to enjoy life. You won't find her sitting down for long. She is involved in various community service projects and volunteers to a variety of events that mostly involve children or less fortunate. Almost daily she starts her morning with a sunrise burn boot camp to get her blood flowing then actually enjoys putting in a good day of work. In her free-time, you will more than likely find her exploring the local treasures. Her favorite past time, aside from game night and laughing with friends and family, is to find the best "hole in the wall" cafes or wineries with delicious food or Texas hill country views.
In her quest to enjoy life, Shelley has had the incredible opportunity to have travelled the world and experienced many different cultures. She swam with dolphins in the clear blue waters off the coast of Mauritius. Dinner has been prepared and served to her by an Iron Chef in Japan. She reluctantly went shark diving with the great whites in the frigid Indian Ocean and sipped incredible wine in the amazing diamond mine wineries in the ever-gorgeous Jacaranda tree covered hills of Cape Town, Africa. She has survived the great German Autobahn and clanked steins of beer at Octoberfest in Germany. She has even gained a few pounds walking the streets of Thailand to feast on the locals unique street eats. She is still amazed there are no cars in Venice but fell in love with the history and architecture and ultimately regrets she didn't climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge in Australia. Her most inspiring trip was to Christchurch, New Zealand where she saw the resourcefulness of the city re-establish their earthquake-demolished town by creating shops, restaurants, and coffee houses out of shipping containers.
Here in America, out of all of the fascinating cities she has visited, nothing has been as extreme as hunting alligators in the shallow swamps of Louisiana. Or night diving excursions with a frightening wide-mouthed manta rays elegantly embracing human existence in the waters below in Hawaii.
These are only a few of her exciting experiences but they have allowed Shelley insight to really appreciate the cultures, the food, architecture, fashion, design, language, land and most importantly the people of these great places. As well as, appreciate the blessings in her own life. Who knows what she will get into next!
Live, Love and Laugh!💋
