In this Savvy Talk segment, Shelby shares the journey behind her international commitment for beach volleyball in England. We cover the setter‑to‑libero switch, why beach suits her style, and the impact of new NCAA roster limits on recruiting. Academically, she started community college at 13, dual‑credited into high school, graduated at 16, and wrapped up an undergraduate program in spring 2025—now beginning bachelor’s‑level coursework. Shelby also coaches at NPJ and aims for a future in zoology focused on chemical, biological, and environmental science. Living with Type 1 diabetes since age two, she’s active with JDRF and earned an Eli Lilly awareness award. If you’re weighing big decisions in sport or school, this episode is for you.
