Get to Know Shelby
My fondest TFC memory was singing Jake Runestad’s “Let My Love Be Heard” at The Healing Journey Concert in 2023. While rehearsing this, there was such a sense of love in the room. I don’t know if I’ve ever felt anything like it. Many of us have lost people close to us. We spoke their names, remembered them, cried together, laughed together, and truly connected through music.
My life's motto is "The flower does not dream of the bee. It blossoms and the bee comes."
I'm passionate about My Dog, My Friends & Family, and Alabama Football.
The piece I could listen to on repeat is Brahms Requiem, because I feel like I’m melting away (in a good way) when I listen to it.
This year I want to Travel more, buy a house, and get some more hobbies!
If I could only watch three TV shows for the rest of my life, they would be New Girl, Outlander, and Love Island.
One of my secret indulgences is 2000’s pop punk. It’s so good.
Shrek 2 is one of my favorite movies because It is a deep message hidden behind a funny movie. You are perfect the way you are.
I love Charleston, SC, because I discovered myself here!
I want to meet Nick Saban He’s the GOAT.
