Shelby Lynip Email & Phone Number

"What mental health needs is more sunlight, more candor, and more unashamed conversation." -Glenn CloseMy name is Shelby and I am a passionate and others-oriented psychology student. Currently, I am working full-time as an Instructional Assistant in an Exceptional Children's classroom and studying full-time in order to achieve a Bachelor of Science in Psychology at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, with a minor in Communication Studies.I believe in the transformative power of genuine, vulnerable conversations about mental health and the brain-behavior link. I want to help create a world where every person has access to the resources they need in order to thrive mentally, emotionally, and physically. I plan to pursue a Master Degree in Counseling Psychology in order to help achieve this goal.In my free time I love to craft, bake, and deep-dive into fantasy books and novels!
