I’ve had the pleasure of working with many professionals in my career and Shelly ranks up there as one of my favorites! Shelly is incredibly passionate about her work in higher education and brings a fresh, innovative perspective to managing high level client accounts. Additionally, Shelly is a rock star team player - willingly stepping up for our team time and time again, sharing valuable resources that were relevant to supporting the growth of our pipeline. One thing that really stands out about Shelly is her infectious, positive energy and desire to make every experience for our team and our clients better and more enriching. Don’t even get me started on her crazy creative marketing skills! Top notch!

Shelly is a tremendous support and team lead. There isn’t a tough enough circumstance that she won’t handle with grace and wit. Having the pleasure of working under Shelly, I expanded horizons, learned more and ventured outside of the box. She truly allows people around her to flourish and succeed. One of the greatest “Shelly Skill” is her work ethic and I mean it!! She is one of the hardest workers and I often found myself thinking, how in the world did she do this!? Shelly took a new direction in her career from sales to marketing director at Modern Acupuncture, but never skipped a beat - if there was something in the unknown bucket, she studied and learned quickly because of her tenacious dedication to knowing the entirety of a concept, and understanding fully to be able to communicate and help others with her knowledge. There aren’t many people who have this natural ability and wherewithal to chose service above self, but Shelly continually proved that over and over again with the leadership team, vendors, franchisees, and the team beneath her. I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to work with Shelly on a National scale; she will undoubtedly make huge strides in any company that is blessed to have her.

I have had the good fortune to work with Shelly at University of Phoenix and Study.com (where I recruited her to join my team). Shelly is a exceptional performer with a customer-centric focus that allows her to build long-term relationships that drive value creation for both her clients and her respective organization. Shelly is also incredibly team-oriented and will go above and beyond to ensure her colleagues are successful. Shelly's unique blend of creativity, experience, and strategic insights ensure that she is an asset for any organization that has her on the team!

Shelly understands relationships, the commitment and responsiveness needed to build a life long client relationship. Her client focus creates a level of trust and authenticity that is rare and difficult to emulate. Shelly approaches her professional and life with a tremendous amount of positive energy, consistently going above and beyond to help others. Her knowledge of today’s healthcare environment is first-class. Further, she has a tireless work ethic that, when coupled with his positive energy, achieves tremendous results. I’m fortunate to know Shelly, and when called upon she will always answer even with nothing to gain in return. She strives for excellence in everything she does! Simply put, the world needs more professionals like Shelly.

Shelly is incredibly smart and energetic. She has great people skills. I have known Shelly for several years and have found her to be extremely accountable, passionate, and trustworthy. Her upbeat personality is contagious. I highly recommend Shelly for any organization.

I had the opportunity to manage Shelly during her time at University of Phoenix. Shelly was the type of employee every leader wants to have on their team. She was extremely creative at looking for new ways to get the business and truly cared about servicing her clients. She has an infectious positive attitude and never settled for anything but the best for both the University and her clients. I would highly recommend Shelly for any organization lucky enough to get the opportunity to have her

Shelly is one of the most eager, committed and creative Account Executives I encountered at Apollo. She has an incredibly engaging talent and intelligence that helped me focus my energies from a strategy perspective by bringing real opportunities for business development to me and keeping them front and center. I have rarely met anyone who works as hard for their clients as Shelly.

You can find account executives anywhere. Finding someone who wins her clients awards because of her above-and-beyond approach to customer service? That's like looking for a needle in the proverbial corporate haystack. If you seek a representative of your brand who can build deep, sustainable and mutually beneficial client relationships with big businesses, you owe it to yourself to strongly consider Shelly. I watched Shelly add tremendous value through many seasons of change and evolution at Apollo Education Group. She is a trusted advisor and a loyal employee.
