Shelley P. Carter

The boring required part:  I was born and raised just outside of Washington D.C. in Falls Church, Virginia. I finished college at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia and graduated with honors. I graduated from Hamline University School of Law in St. Paul, Minnesota with honors and was on Law Review. The more interesting part: While I was born south of the Mason-Dixon Line, I made it to Maine as soon as I could. I am grateful to be a Yankee by choice! I have been a practicing attorney for over of two decades and I can safely say having spent the majority of my career in Maine, I am here to stay. Maine is definitely the way life should be!

It helps that the loves of my life, my husband Jonathan and my four-legged best friend, Baxter live with me in Fryeburg, Maine. If you are willing to indulge my mama bear pride, please check out my singer-songwriter daughter’sYouTube channel: youtube.com/willowcarter. Please also check out my husband’s music website where you can hear covers by both of them, individually and together as well as enjoy Willow’s originals: bluewillowtreestudio.com/music. Willow won the local song of the year contest with her original Late Night Drives and is currently a third year at Berklee College of Music.
