Shelby

Administrative Assistant 

Shelby is an experienced administrative assistant and has been with YEGarden Suites since the beginning. She is very agile and great at retrieving information. As you can see, her lack of thumbs do not compromise her ability to use an iPad or read through documents. She keeps us on track with hourly reminders to snack, walk, play, or nap. One smart pup.
