Shelby Murphy, Cross Co., Committee Member
My name is Shelby Murphy and I am a Talent Acquisition Specialist with Cross Company. Originally from Southwest Virginia, my husband and I settled in the Piedmont Triad 2 years ago with our fur babies where we found a sense of "home away from home". Passionate about helping others, I find it extremely rewarding to learn more about each person, assisting them through the process, and seeing them excel in their new role with Cross Company. I joined the Young Professionals of Kernersville to continue networking with other like-minded individuals in the area in hopes of growth and development for myself and others.

My name is Cady Ray and I’m the Recreation Program Supervisor for the Town of Kernersville Parks and Recreation! Our purpose is to provide inclusive quality experiences for the citizens of Kernersville by planning community events, programs, athletic leagues & camps. After attending the University of North Carolina at Charlotte with a Bachelors degree in Communications-Public Relations, my first full time job was Director of Promotions and Community Relations for the Hickory Crawdads Minor League baseball team. I moved to Kernersville 4 years ago to make the transition into Parks & Recreation and it has been the most rewarding experience! Growing up in Wallburg just down the road- I attended many things in Kernersville growing up as a kid and I love being able to give back after all these years. I love acting as the “Leslie Knope” (IYKYK) in the Heart of the Triad.

Victoria Parrish, Owner of Lashtastic Lounge, Committee Member
Lashtastic Lounge began from a desire to create a space for women to express their feminine side fully and unapologetically. Modern day women are tasked with so much from being the center of home life to providing for their families in emotional, spiritual and often financial needs, and on top of all of that - we’re supposed to also exude femininity.
Owner and Founder Victoria Parrish found this to be overwhelming as she navigated life as a new working mom. She took it as a personal challenge to create a space for any woman to express her femininity easily and effortlessly. Victoria herself experienced that transformation through investing in self care and fell in love with how lash and skin treatments not only helped her confidence in her physical beauty - but also how it transformed how feminine she felt internally.
The mission of Lashtastic Lounge is simple - we bring the inner beauty that each woman who walks through the Lashtastic doors embodies to their own awareness. Each woman is unique in how her beauty is expressed, and the results driven services provided here at Lashtastic Lounge allow each and every single woman to UNLEASH her own unique femininity.
We are excited to share our journey and be a part of the Kernersville Young Professionals!
