We had the good fortune of connecting with Shelby Hollin and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Shelby, what do you attribute your success to?
In my opinion the reason Amanda Hope Rainbow Angels has been as successful as it is, is due to our supporters. That includes our amazing donors but also the team members and volunteers of Amanda Hope. Having the right people in place is important to running a successful organization.

On top of that we also lead this organization with a mission in mind, this mission is to provide financial and emotional support to our warriors and their families. I think a huge part of our success is due to the fact that we are all working towards that mission day in and day out.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I have always felt passionate about health care and serving others. I knew that in my career field I wanted to continue serving others. I feel so lucky that this is my job that I get to do everyday! Having passion is what sets me apart from others.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Best Places to eat in AZ: The Stand, Two Hippies Tacos, Blanco

Love Hiking in Flagstaff and Payson. Nature is always so healing.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
We have worked with a lot of amazing people and organizations over the years. But one that truly stands out in my eyes is Phoenix Children’s Hospital. Not only do they help our Amanda Hope warriors in a clinical setting, but it is clear that they are mission focused. When they are unable to offer a service to their kids, they reach out to find a solution through non-profits like Amanda Hope and so many other amazing ones.
