Shelby is a former Halifax Grammar school student and decided to pursue her goals of being a student-athlete at StFX University.  A former standout basketball player at the Grammar School, Shelby quickly learned life doesn’t always go as planned after her athletic career was cut short due to a Severe knee Injury. Shelby details the struggles of being removed from not only the sport but the culture as well, which to that point had been a major part of her identity.  With a degree in business, Shelby took a leap of faith by moving to Toronto, Ontario shortly after graduating from StFX University.  Fast forward 10yrs later, Shelby has been working for Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment and is an NBA champion as a Player Development Coach for the Toronto Raptors, & has recently began her own journey within entrepreneurship.   Head to instagram & check out @mackhouseinc, a self serving sneaker customization studio, located in the city of Toronto.   Shelby is a friend but even more, Shelby is a strong female leader in a professional sports market, a youth mentor & a newly emerging entrepreneur.
