Shelby El Otmani is a New Hampshire–based writer and radio producer. Shelby’s experience in broadcast journalism along with a lifelong interest in psychology inspired her to explore how we develop our beliefs, why they stick with us, and how media and technology impact the decisions we make. Outside of work, you can probably find her surfing, learning kung fu, or hanging out at a coffee shop with a good book.
