Shirley is a lifetime Hancock county resident, living on her generational family farm near Wilkinson.  She is a wife to John and mother of four 30-something kids and grandmother to 3 grandchildren ages 4,5, and 6.  She became reacquainted with FUSE last fall by volunteering in the adaptive swim program with her granddaughter, Sofi.

She is currently the CFO of Leaftech Ag, a technology company in the agriculture sector.  Prior to her role at Leaftech, Shirley held several non profit leadership positions and is a retired therapeutic riding instructor.  Shirley is passionate about non profit management and leadership and is excited to be involved in FUSE to share those experiences.

Outside of work and family, Shirley is an avid gardener and recently became interested in creating native habitats. She enjoys everything outdoors, including kayaking and hiking with her dog, Cash.
