As a freelance columnist for several publications, her articles have appeared in the Jerusalem Post, Arutz Sheva, FrontPage Magazine, and more. Shelley has been present for the most central events in the Copper Scroll Project over the last decade, including the initial excavation at Qumran in 2009.
