Meet Shelby (Chef Shelbs)
‘Passionate, driven, creative and kind’…These are a few words that will come to your mind. Although these are true, what else can you see? Only time will tell what becomes of me…
Hey there! My name is Chef Shelby Henderson, but I am worldly known as Chef Shelbs. I started my career as a chef in July 2011, but my love for cooking all started when I was just a little girl. I received my motivation from a lineage of chefs and bakers. Cooking is truly a passion of mine, but there’s nothing more satisfying than presenting a different approach to common ingredients.
I was born in Chicago, Illinois and raised in Memphis, TN. I am a proud alumnus of St. Edward’s University, where I received my Bachelor of Business Administration Degree in Entrepreneurship. In December 2013, I received my Master of Arts Degree in Management and Leadership from Liberty University. In August of 2014, I was blessed with an opportunity to move to Melbourne, Victoria, Australia to enhance my culinary skills and to learn other cultures . My experience in Australia refurbished my love for nutrition that led receiving my Fitness Nutrition Specialist certification through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM).
