The Face of INFINITY Science Center MICHELLE ANDERSON
Michelle Anderson is the chief executive officer and executive director of INFINITY Science Center. She loves being able to combine her formal training and experience as an educator with her time as a human resources/business management professional.
“I love that every day brings about its own rewards and challenges,” she explains. “Getting to this role is a unique
story. I got hired to, in essence, be second-in-command for INFINITY, but within three months, I was selected to serve
as Interim Executive Director and then Executive Director, permanently, several months after.
Anderson also loves being involved in her local community. While not originally from the Coast, she has
been participating in Leadership Hancock County to help familiarize herself with the area.
Some fun facts about Anderson include that she is a formally trained pianist, a writer, and a former
actress!

The Faces of Shelton Jewelers
CATHY SHELTON REED AND DIANNE REED MURRAY
Shelton Jewelers has been in business for over
79 years. Cathy Shelton Reed and her daughter Dianne Reed Murray are the proud owners of the establishment.
Reed’s father, W.P., started the business back in 1945. The best part of the job is seeing the happiness a piece of jewelry can bring a person. “We love transforming an old family heirloom into a new heirloom that will continue to be passed through generations,” they say.
Reed and Murray understand that every customer that walks through their door is different. “We put a lot of time and effort into each project, from simple to complex,” they explain. “Each person has a different budget and idea of what their piece of jewelry should be. We hope all of our customers feel that they get a unique experience when they shop with us.”
