ABOUT SHELBY BENSON

My gratitude to the clients and colleagues who have been kind enough to provide their recommendations on what I am like to work with.I am driven to help, and customer service holds a special place in my heart. I am here for my stakeholders. My entire career has been spent supporting production (\"live\") environments in various capacities.I believe in the power of relationships to carry projects through challenging moments. It is the bonds we build with each other that give us the trust and clarity to listen, collaborate, and problem solve together. I am here to celebrate the contributions of the incredible colleagues and clients I work with. I have a deep attention to detail and a zest to learn new industries and skills. I am open to receiving feedback. These qualities, along with my ability to transfer my skill set, have helped me successfully embrace new industries - recently, merchant services, call center operation, real estate appraisals, learning management systems with exposure to visual effects, game development and virtual production.My strengths include- Project Management- Customer Service - Communication- Relationship Building- Problem Solving- Escalation Management- Strong Attention to Detail- Empathy- Growth MindsetI am an accidental Star Wars fan - I didn\'t mean to get hooked, but here I am! I fell in love with The Mandalorian and have extended that interest into The Book of Boba Fett, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Andor, Ahsoka and the Acolyte. Please don\'t miss the animated series - there\'s so much deep lore here - The Clone Wars, The Bad Batch, Rebels and Tales of the Jedi & Tales of the Empire & Maul. I love the clones - give me Rex, Echo, Howser and Clone Force 99 any day. Thrawn is a new fav of mine, too. The Thrawn books, written by Timothy Zahn and read by Marc Thompson are *thrilling.* I love the Republic Commando books by Karen Traviss. I\'m currently making my way through the \"Fate of the Jedi\" audiobooks (also read by Thompson). I believe in the power of a good night\'s sleep, and try to \"practice\" a few of these principles every day to get just that- meditating with Calm or Headspace- racking up my step count- moving with the help of Caroline Girvan - find her fun & motivating weight training videos on YouTube & her CGX platform- improving my neck strength, mobility and pain with Hinge Health\'s musculoskeletal program- getting in a good stretch while listening to a Star Wars audiobook.If you want to chat Star Wars nerdiness or Caroline Girvan workouts, feel free to message me!
