Overview

Shelly was one of the most polished and consistent performers in the Legacy Bowl — steady, composed, and a strong communicator who quickly earned the trust of her team. A 3.8 GPA at Carnegie Mellon with a Statistics minor and Business Analytics coursework gives her a strong quantitative foundation, and her interview performance (all >90%+) signals readiness for real workplace reps.

Athletically, she is decorated — UAA Rookie of the Year, ITA Atlantic South Rookie of the Year, All-UAA First Team at #1 singles, and set the CMU single-season win record. That level of competitive pedigree paired with discipline translates naturally to finance.

On campus, she is active in FAST Finance Training, Women in Business, and her Sorority (leading philanthropic merchandise + $2K+ fundraising events). As a tennis coach she doubled academy membership (40→70), showing sales instincts and relational awareness. Reliability, structure, humility, and coachability define her — a classic Goal Keeper profile with real upside.

Her profile suggests long-term growth into structured teams — detail-oriented, dependable, low-ego, and highly coachable.
