Shantell proclaims Italy as her favorite place in the world. She is smitten by the warm hospitality of its people, including babies who wave and say “Ciao,” the cobblestone streets and timeless country landscape reminiscent of Romeo & Juliet, and the delightful cuisine-including endless flavors of gelatin and pasta preparations.

A lover of all things wellness and beauty related, Shantell seeks out stress-reducing activities and may be found attending a yoga class or enjoying a spa service (or two) in her spare time. She also serves as a mentor to emerging entrepreneurs.
