Who I Am

Marketing & Communications by degree. Training & Development specialist by experience. Entertainment by passion. Shelby Horne is a communications strategist, instructional designer, and charismatic entertainer who blends creativity, operational rigor, and people‑centered leadership to uplift communities and expand access for those who are too often overlooked. With a background spanning corporate compliance training, student and community programming, performing arts and creative outreach, Shelby specializes in making complex ideas clear, relatable, and empowering for diverse audiences.

Her work is rooted in equity, storytelling, and real‑world impact — bringing warmth, humor, and cultural curiosity to every space she enters.

Shelby is naturally curious and loves asking thoughtful questions that get people thinking creatively about how to solve problems. She’s passionate about building efficient systems and leading clear communication so teams have the visibility they need to move work forward with confidence.
