Originally from Salt Lake City, office coordinator Shelby shares a few of the experiences that have shaped her into the person she is today.
I played the comedic sidekick in a production of Xanadu right out of college. I got to wear roller skates — it was so much fun.
As a cancer survivor, my mom taught me how to be a warrior, but also how important it is to surround yourself with people who support and love you. She also taught me that my dreams were possible and I could be anything I wanted to be.
I would have to say, my mom. As a cancer survivor, she taught me how to be a warrior, but also how important it is to surround yourself with people who support and love you. She also taught me that my dreams were possible and I could be anything I wanted to be.
I grew up in the suburbs outside of Salt Lake City.
Absolutely! My cousins and grandparents lived two houses down from me, so family gatherings were a huge part of my daily life. I was always flexing my creativity muscles, recruiting my cousins to be in the plays I wrote and forcing our parents to watch. I guess that’s what sparked my interest in theater — which is what I ended up going to college for!

I moved from Salt Lake City to Brooklyn nearly nine years ago with my cat and a few suitcases. We moved into an apartment I’d never visited, in a neighborhood I’d never set foot in. I had no job and only knew one person in NYC. The place was a three-bedroom with four humans, three cats, and two dogs. It was chaos!
I am currently halfway through the third book in the Game of Thrones series (A Clash of Kings). I’m quite a bookworm and totally obsessed with GOT.
I appreciate that everyone is so different, but they are all genuinely interested in learning about each other and building those relationships. Differences are celebrated at VMG!
Ha! Only on my best day 😉
