Having personal experience with the generosity of non-profits like the Blackfalds Food Bank Society, Shelby welcomed the opportunity to give back to the avenues that provided support to her and her family in her youth and join our Board of Directors in 2025.

Shelby spent her early adult years as a journalist, living in different communities across Alberta, before making her move into municipal communications in 2018. In 2019, she settled in Blackfalds to grow stronger roots and be close to her family in Central Alberta. In her spare time, Shelby is a serial hobbyist, avid reader, and also manages a slo-pitch team in the spring and summer alongside her husband.

With growing ties to our community, Shelby will use her skills and experiences to help grow our food bank initiatives. She looks forward to bringing her life full circle and supporting the accessible programs that once supported her.
