As Campo’s in-house historian, Shelby’s responsibilities include but are not limited to conducting research for preparation of National Register nominations, assembling state and federal historic tax credit applications, and assisting with marketing and real estate development opportunities.  Shelby has a strong appreciation for the way that architectural preservation can be used to communicate local, state, and national histories through the restoration and rehabilitation of adaptive reuse projects.

After graduating from LSU in 2014, Shelby moved to Orlando, FL to work for the Walt Disney Company. In 2017, she returned to New Orleans to begin her master’s degree study at the University of New Orleans.
