As our number of clients grows, new
additions to the iWL team are needed! This week, we have the privilege to say
hi to yet another new member of the iWL family: Shelbi Anderson, iWL Project
Manager!
Young, positive and full of promise, Shelbi is quickly becoming an
invaluable part of the team.
Now, it’s time for us to get to know a
little bit more about her.
In April 2015, Shelbi Anderson graduated
from Brigham Young University in Public Relations, but her career in
communications began long before that.
While a student, Shelbi, a Salt Lake City
native, took a year and a half off from her studies to serve a church mission
in Santiago, Chile, which sparked her interest in other languages and cultures.
Since returning two years ago, she has worked for diverse clients including
Marriott International, NASA, the National Science Foundation, the LDS Church,
the Laycock Center for Creative Collaboration, and the BYU College of Fine Arts
and Communications and BYU Museum of Art.
One of the highlights of Shelbi’s career
has been the opportunity to travel around the world.
In 2013, she was one of three on her team
that presented research on social media best practices to over
100 general managers at the Marriott Caribbean Latin American annual conference
in Cancun, Mexico.
In 2014, Shelbi traveled back to Santiago,
Chile as a journalist to do investigative reporting about the student protest
movements with a small group of videographers and a graphic designer. The
piece, Breaking the Class Ceiling,
later won the regional Mark of Excellence Award for Online In-Depth
Reporting from the Society of Professional Journalists.
Besides travel, some of her hobbies include
design, eating ethnic food, staying on top of the latest pop culture, reading
and (most recently) barre classes.
Welcome to inWhatLanguage, Shelbi! It’s
going to be one fun ride :)
