The Parks, Recreation & Forestry Department's Feature Friday

Each Friday, the Parks, Recreation and Forestry Department features something new for residents or visitors to learn more about and this week were bringing back our “Meet the Staff” series. As another summer is nearing its end end, we want to give a HUGE shout out to each of our seasonal employees!

Shelby is finishing her second summer with the Town of Greenville, and first working full time in the Parks Department. She is headed into her sophomore year at Northern Michigan University where she is majoring in math and minoring in math and Spanish. After school, she plans to be an actuary and hopes that her career will provide her the opportunity to travel. Shelby’s favorite parts of her job this summer have been the mowing and the people. She says her coworkers make it so much fun to come to work every day! In her free time, she enjoys tennis and hanging out with her friends and family.

Shelby’s eagerness to learn and willingness to help made us happy to welcome her full time into the Parks Department. She’s always willing to try and is able to pick up on new things quickly. Her coworkers say that her great sense of humor and fun personality make the days fly by!

We may be biased, but we think we have some of the most ambitious, hardworking seasonal employees out there! Without their help, our summer would have been a lot less sunny.
