Shelby Seymore

Director of Operations

Shelby Seymore graduated from Lamar University in 2015 with a degree in communications. For a time, she ran the social media and PR for non-profit organizations. Not long after, she decided to take her love of books and change career directions. She earned her teaching certification by teaching sophomore and senior English. In 2016, she decided to further her study of literature and that’s where she found her niche of rhetoric and composition. Eventually, she taught English 1301 at Angelo State University. After she taught at the high education level, she found herself wanting to pursue her own writing more than studying others. In 2018, she began to travel the world to find her voice. She traveled to Scotland and India, first. Then became an English au pair and worked in Germany and Spain for a time. She returned to the UK, but decided it was time to come home, but not before she was able to return to Scotland and see Italy. Now, she’s pursuing mindful work environments, working with local school on developing mindful teaching and discipline practices as well as developing her own flavor of mindful work life balance. Now, she manages and develops Alejandro Fine Art with the same pursuit of greatness with a mindful and balanced approach to life.
