Shelby Lewis is the National Manager of Development Data Systems at Summer Search, a youth leadership and mentoring nonprofit where she has worked since 2008. Holding a degree in English rather than computer science, she is proof that you don't need a programming background to build powerful automations. A Raiser's Edge user for over 20 years, she discovered Power Automate through Blackbaud’s Power Platform Accelerator workshop in Spring 2021 and hasn't looked back since. Her early wins showcased its value to her organization, opening the door to broader automation and extensibility work for her Development team. A past bbdevdays presenter, she is committed to finding innovative solutions in nonprofit data management.
When she's not automating, you can find her roller skating, cheering on the Huskers, or catching concerts around the San Francisco Bay Area.
