She was also the Public Relations Liaison for the college radio station. Shelley graduated from the State University of New York at New Paltz in 2004 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Creative Writing and Public Relations.
Before becoming the in-house editor for Cosby Media Productions, she was an editorial assistant on Long Island, NY, for “The Pennysaver.” Afterward, she got married to her college sweetheart and moved to Maryland. Then, she worked as a journalist (fulfilling a childhood dream), taught in the public school system, and proofread for a junk mail company. She occasionally explores her passion as a wedding planner.
