✨ Meet the Staff: Shanell ✨
Born and raised in the wilds of Okeechobee—yes, the actual swamp—Shanell is not easily intimidated. Bugs, reptiles, strange creatures, and unusual oddities? She’s probably more curious than scared. 🐊😂
Nell has been part of the Miracles family for over two years, beginning as a Behavioral Health Technician and working her way up to Lead BHT and Director of Housing. Managing housing operations while responding to the daily needs of our clients is no small task, but Shanell handles it with compassion, determination, and a growing ability to be firm and assertive when the situation calls for it. She is always willing to learn something new, jump in wherever help is needed, and bring her own lovable, quirky personality to the team.
Outside of work, Shanell is the proud cat-and-dog mom of Guppy and Rosie. She loves traveling, kayaking, spending time with friends, thrift shopping, and flipping old furniture into something beautiful. Basically, whether she is transforming a forgotten piece of furniture, handling a housing challenge, or helping a client through a difficult day, Shanell has a gift for seeing potential and refusing to give up.
We are so grateful for Shanell’s kindness, resilience, humor, and the many ways she helps keep Miracles—and our clients—moving forward every day. 💜🏡✨
