Bio
Jackie Rardin
Shelly was hand selected by our Chairman to return to Oakwood - that in itself says a lot about her work ethic, her experience and her character. I’ve had the great opportunity to work with Shelly in varying capacities at Oakwood. I have found her to be creative, responsive, accessible and determined to improve processes. I’ve been fortunate to have been on calls while she’s presented ideas and process improvements to members of our Executive Committee and found her communication style assertive and open to feedback. Shelly is a passionate, accountable and a focused leader. She will be an excellent addition to any organization.

Shelly truly cares and puts 100% into everything she does. I would recommend Shelly to anyone.
