About
Shelly makes Magellan look like a homebody. An Orange County native, she launched her hospitality career aboard a five-star cruise line, circling the globe multiple times and stepping onto nearly every continent by the age of 30. That wanderlust turned into more than 30 years in the service-oriented travel industry, with stints in incentive planning, event management, and destination management before she found her home leading one of the top DMCs in Southern California. At Cohera, she brings both her global perspective and her local expertise, making sure every event delivers a sense of discovery—without anyone needing a passport.
