To learn more about Shelly, continue reading: Tell us a little about yourself: I was born and raised in this area, just down the road in Sterling. I graduated from Sterling High School, and then went to Olivet Nazarene University in Kankakee, IL., majoring in Business Administration. After college, I moved around a few times before going out to Colorado, where I lived for 23 years. I have 2 grown sons, one in Colorado, the other currently in Montana, who truly embrace the outdoor, mountain lifestyle. I, however, prefer NOT to sleep outside in a tent. I moved back to be near my parents, and have 2 sisters, one in Loves Park, the other in St Louis. I have a very large, extended, family, most of them in this area. Being away from everyone is one regret I have about Colorado, and missing out on so much family time. For 3 years before coming to Crest Foods through Manpower, I was a Manpower Onsite Manager at a wind turbine manufacturer in Northern Colorado. Prior to joining the MP team in CO, I was a training branch manager for 10 years with another staffing firm. Actually, my first job in CO was in staffing, and I guess the HR bug bit me. I’ve loved it ever since. I was fortunate enough to stay at home with my boys when they were young, many years ago. I’ll never take that time for granted. There are a lot of things to love about working in this field, and from a staffing perspective, seeing someone get converted to a full time employee is probably one of the best feelings. Each day, knowing that we make a difference in someone’s life, whether big or small, is a very satisfying feeling. Yes, we all have bad days, and bad experiences, but the good outweighs all the bad. My areas of interest and strengths are compliance and safety. I like to dot all the I’s and cross all the T’s. Additionally, I’ve been a member or chairperson on a safety committee with every HR role I’ve held. I’m committed to making sure I do everything I can get my associates home safe to their families each day. Ideally I’d like to pursue a degree in Environmental Health and Safety, and transition to an HSE role. Away from work, I love having projects. The last 8 years in CO I lived in a condo, so it’s really nice to be back in a house, where I can make changes. This summer I rebuilt 2 of the 3 decks at my parents house, and painted several interior rooms. This winter will hopefully be a bathroom remodel. I love to go to antique stores, flea markets, and estate sales. I’ve refinished/refurbished a few furniture pieces, and it seems like every couple of weeks my sister has a new sewing project for me. As a single mom, I’m definitely the do-it-yourself kind of gal, and love shopping for bargains and hidden treasures.
