Name: Shelly Loberg
 
Classification: Tourism
 
What was your first job? My first job out of college was an administrative role at Robert Half International in Minneapolis. In less than a year I was able to get a job in my industry at an advertising agency in media planning. That was really exciting for me!

Who was your first role model and why? My first role model that had a great impact on me was a cousin in my family who I am lucky to have a close relationship with. She has a strong, independent, and open-minded personality, a classic sense of style, and a successful career. She is also adventurous and a great giver within our family. Many of her experiences have inspired me to be a better person and to this day we have a special connection.
 
Why did you want to join Rotary? Having a strong love of other cultures and languages, Rotary’s involvement in international projects is especially interesting to me. I also love the idea of being involved in the community where I work since my job at Explore Edina is all about promoting the city and it’s amenities.

What do you like best about being part of the Rotary Club of Edina? I love how the Edina Rotary Club takes pride in giving back to its community and the surrounding area. I also love the connectivity it has given me to other professionals and the friendships that it’s fostering.
 
What one piece of advice do you offer other business leaders? Be a good listener and collaborator. Some of the best results are achieved when we work together.
 
Thanks for all your hard work in your first year as a Rotarian, Shelly!
