Shelby is the Team Lead for JLF’s Portfolio Managers, working closely with property owners to support and protect their investments. She joined JLF in 2022 as a Leasing Consultant and quickly discovered her passion for property management. Through dedication, determination, and a genuine desire to help others, Shelby grew into her leadership role and has become a dependable resource for both her clients and her team.
