Welcome | Bienvenido | Bon bini
I’m Shelby. You’ve found my internet home!
I’ve been on an unconventional journey for the last 10 years to get to where I am. Every year of my life since 2012, I’ve taken at least one big risk which has drastically altered my path.
In the last year alone, I’ve updated my identity with the following endeavors:
- Director of Marketing at an early-stage startup.
- Mom of a 2-year-old and 3-month old.
- Longterm resident of Curaçao.
I’m an experimenter, making regular habits out of trying something new and changing my mind.
Noteworthy experiments:
- 2012: Skipping college to cofound a personal development company with friends.
- 2016: Taking a year off social media at age 21.
- 2017-18: Moving to two different South American countries without knowing anyone there.
- 2021: Taking a year off drinking with a goal to meditate, walk 5K steps, and do yoga every day.
- 2021: Quitting my job to take a sabbatical without a backup plan.
- 2021: Moving to an island to live with someone I just met.
- 2022: Becoming a wife and a mom, after 25 years of being non-committal.
- 2023: Switching my career focus to marketing.
