Shelby’s life was headed in a dangerous direction in middle school.  Fortunately a remarkable teacher connected with her.  Seeking a school that fit her culture and her voracious desire to learn, she attended 4 different schools before graduating from one of Denver’s newest charter schools as the first Valedictorian.  She is a single mom and has just entered Metro State University where her career goal is to be a teacher. In addition to being a Trainer at Project VOYCE , she was the sole student representative on the State Council of Educator Effectiveness appointed by Bill Ritter from 2010 to 2012.
