“I believe that wellness results from a collective system — we receive what we put into the various aspects that make up who we are. CooperRiis strongly aligns with this concept, which makes it a place I am passionate about working at.”
Shelby has a strong background in Community Mental Health and served as a Therapist/Team Lead of an ACT team in Asheville and as a Case Manager/Intern at the South Carolina Department of Mental Health.
Shelby also worked in Tourism and loved it, and door-to-door sales—she did not like the latter.
Shelby earned her BSW/MSW from the University of South Carolina. (Go Gamecocks!)
“My ‘fun fact’ has always been that I am a triplet! Another is that I enjoy ‘type 2’ fun, fun that’s only fun in hindsight. And I love challenging myself physically by taking long runs, strenuous hikes, etc.”
