Ever since Shelby joined my team in 2020, my business has completely transformed. Shelby is committed to organization, creativity, strategic planning, and thinking outside of the box. From managing my team of editors at my agency, Creatorly Media, to developing digital products for my personal brand, and assisting me with YouTube edits, Shelby’s skills really cover the full range of what a content creator or online business owner needs in a digital business manager.
More than her technical skills, where Shelby really shines is her compassion, empathy, and true commitment to the success of those she works with.
