She attended Saint Augustine's College, where she graduated with honors and received her Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice. During her undergraduate studies she discovered her passion for litigation and advocacy, which ultimately became the cornerstone of her legal career. She obtained her J.D. from Campbell University with a concentration in Advocacy, honing her persuasive communication skills, negotiation skills and sharpening her legal acumen.

While in law school, Shenel interned at Johnston County District Attorney's Office in the Domestic Violence Division. She also practiced as student attorney for the Campbell University Restorative Justice Clinic, where she mediated matters between at-risk students and the Wake County Public School System, as well as matters between North Carolina Death Row inmates and the victims of her crimes. In combination, these valuable experiences provided her with important insight into the difference a good attorney can make in the lives of their clients. This insight instilled in her a core commitment to always advocate for her clients aggressively and to consistently pursue ways to hone her legal skill set.

With over a decade of mediation experience, Shenel has honed her skills as a skilled negotiator, which has proven invaluable in her practice areas.
