When not on the computer, Shirley enjoys spending time in nature with family and friends. One of her greatest passions is guiding others through the underwater world as a licensed Divemaster (scuba diving). If you’re on her dive boat, you’ll find that she has a particular love for spotting weird sea creatures, from frogfish to wobbegongs, or simply floating in the blue, reveling in the mysteries of the ocean.

Outside the water, Shirley has become a bit of a linguistics nerd, currently learning sign language (ASL and BSL), while maintaining a couple other spoken languages at any one time. Though not active, Shirley is also a licensed yoga and qigong instructor, mostly sharing this practice with family.

These days, Shirley can be found in the mountains with her partner and two cats.
