Shelley joined the Gather team as the Pantry Market Coordinator in September of 2023 after she shared with a friend that she was looking to make a career change. Since her primary goal was to serve her community and help others, her friend highly recommended that she pursue a career with Gather. 

Shelley received her master's in education from the University of Southern Maine and spent 20 years in public education before becoming the owner of a math and reading center in Portsmouth. 

Shelley has lived in the Seacoast area her entire life. In her free time she loves spending time in Boston, hiking in the white mountains and exploring different local campgrounds.
