She graduated from Calhoun High School in 1987 where she was a member of the volleyball and basketball teams.  After she graduated from high school, she attended Hickey College in St. Louis and received an accounting degree in April 1988.  After college, Shelly started working as a secretary at German Insurance and has worked there for the past 34 years.
