The Women Who Lead Initiative was launched this year to commemorate the 25th anniversary of The Daily Record’s Top 100 Women and the 10th anniversary of Leading Women. Ms. Shelton received a Leading Women honor in 2018, which made her eligible for this new recognition.

Outside the firm, she has a strong commitment to paying forward the support and guidance she has received from strong female mentors.

She is also active in the American Bar Association and serves as Chair-Elect of the Board of Directors, Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter (BARCS).

Ms. Shelton joined Zuckerman Spaeder in 2016 and had previously served as a law clerk to The Honorable Lynne A. Battaglia, Court of Appeals of Maryland. Early in her career, she started and ran a restaurant in Long Beach, California.
