LEADERSHIP TEAM

Meet The Team

Chapter President
Shelbey Colt
I joined PSU HRMA because I wanted to know if HR was the right career path for me. I ended up learning so much about HR, even more than I learned in the classroom. I’ve also met some of my best friends here too!
I enjoy the community we provide each other and how cooperative we work. It’s very rewarding to watch each other complete projects that they’re passionate about and support each other along the way.
My favorite hobby is baking! I love making sweet treats for people and I love to learn new recipes.
