After her accomplished career in newsrooms and marketing departments, she started her quest as a Freelance Writer and Social Media Manager. Shelby believes she has creative strategies that can not be confined to one company. While embarking on entrepreneurial ventures, she realized how lonely it can be to pursue a dream. As a result, she started Little Habits Social Club, a community of women looking to find new friends catered to the caliber of life they're in or want to achieve. She curates social events for these women to connect, hoping that organic, healthy friendships are born.
