With a BA in Italian Language and Literature and an MA in Education with Secondary Ed teaching certification, both degrees gained at the University of Michigan, Shelley is excited to make an impact in the community that she lives and serves in.
Shelley received a grant from Creative Washtenaw a few years ago, with funds originating from AAACF and has been personally impacted by the Foundation’s work. She says “I’m happy to be part of that coming full circle. I look forward to supporting the operations at AAACF, in hopes that my work will be part of a positive impact on someone else in the community.”
