Journalist and Communications Specialist in New York City.
Hello, there.
Shelby here. Thank you for visiting my portfolio. Feel free to relax, kick off your shoes, and maybe even learn a thing or two.
Nervous about what to expect? Fret no more. I’m a business journalist with a knack for making complex topics accessible. I enjoy weaving personal narratives into well-sourced stories related to healthcare, science, and innovation.
These are a few of my favorite clips.
