Shellby is a born and raised rural Yukoner, member of Selkirk First Nation, and Registered Nurse. It is through this lens she listens, learns and leads.

Since becoming a Registered Nurse in 2014, Shellby has worked in BC, the NWT, and Yukon. Her healthcare career encompasses acute care, rural ER, advanced practice in remote communities, health care education and health care management. Her academic endeavours include a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, Graduate Certificates in Rural and Remote Nursing and Child and Youth Mental Health, and more recently a Master of Arts in Leadership Degree. Shellby is also a firm believer in work life balance; you can find her doing house projects, hiking, camping, or adventuring with her family outside of working hours!

Shellby is passionate about academia, leadership, and nursing in the north. Drawing from her professional, academic and lived experiences, Shellby aims to cultivate safe spaces for nurses to become leaders and for Yukoners to access client centered, culturally safe health care.
