Shelley and her white fluffy dog, Astrid Milledge (Millie) returned to the South in 2020 after being away for far too long in NYC, SF and Southern California.

She is thrilled to bring her relationship-building and partnership skills to Giving Kitchen, a place that has captivated her attention for the last three years.
