Shelby Grace LaBar
Temporary/Part-time — Patient Operations
Shelby grew up in a host family household through Pius High School and spent 13 years as a gymnast hosting two female athletes for training. She volunteers with Habitat for Humanity, local food banks, and a homeless shelter. She's very close with her family, especially her mother. She's completing her sign language interpreter license, studied psychology and social work, and paused an MBA to pursue ASL. She worked at Eastern Children's Home supervising the girls' cottage (ages 11–17), overseeing school readiness, meals, chores, and daily life skills.
