Shelly Pfeffel (Class of 2003)

Shelly Pfeffel (nee Slomp) grew up in Southern Alberta and graduated from Immanuel in 2003.  Unsure of what she wanted to do, Shelly worked in the banking industry for a number of years before finding her passion working with people at the YMCA of Lethbridge where she managed the membership team, bookkeeping and payroll. 

After her maternity leave, it was time for a change.  She started working at Kasko Cattle Company in 2019, initially as the accounting technician, but when an opportunity arose, she was approached to become the Human Resources Manager for the company.  Attending online classes at the University of Calgary to continue her knowledge, Shelly is deeply passionate about what she does because she believes in the pivotal role that people play in the success and sustainability of agriculture.

Working in HR in this industry allows Shelly to create a positive and supportive work environment for the hardworking individuals who dedicate their lives to cultivating the land and raising our food.  She is able to foster a culture of collaboration and well-being amongst the farming community.  Shelly is proud to help people find their passion, emphasizing the importance of a fulfilling workplace by promoting a work/life balance to ensure that each member of the team can thrive both professionally and personally.
