Shelley has been with Adoption Connect since October 2022 as a Case Aide. She needed something more and moved to the SWAN department in July of 2024 as a Caseworker and is now back to a Case Aide as of November 2025. Shelley lives in New Brighton with her teenage son, Dominic, and boyfriend, Roberto, and enjoys spending time with her bonus daughter, Kenadi, and Bonus son, Leo, and Roberto’s children, Demetrius and Desiree. After Shelley lost her daughter, Giana, in 2020, she wanted to find a job with meaning. Shelley loves that her job gives children in foster care some stability and being a consistent face in the lives of the children she cares for. Shelley is a family girl and enjoys spending time with her parents, siblings, and nieces and nephews.
