Shelly Stusick (she/her)
Go Beyond Beauty Specialist

Shelly grew up in Grand Rapids, Michigan but is no stranger to Northwest Michigan, where she has always visited family on Old Mission and Leelanau peninsulas, reinforcing her love of water and the outdoors. 

After two terms with the with the Leelanau Conservancy (LC) as a Stewardship Technician through Huron Pines' AmeriCorps program, this area took on additional meaning and felt like home! Throughout her time in Leelanau she has also gardened for a local small business and currently is a MSU Extension Master Gardener trainee - all which makes her a great fit to run the Go Beyond Beauty program. Shelly also has a Bachelors of Science in Natural Resource Management from Grand Valley State University. 

Living and working in the area for the past four years has given Shelly an understanding and deep appreciation of the unique ecology and community in this region, strengthening her enthusiasm for connecting with others through nature. In her free time Shelly enjoys hiking, gardening, rock hounding, watching jeopardy, marveling at leaves, and, of course, spending time with her fiancé and golden retriever, Eamon.
