Shelby Lund, class of 2010, recently celebrated her 10th anniversary working at HBS Systems, as well as a recent job title upgrade. Shelby says she is blessed that her company has a very generous PTO policy, which has allowed her to travel multiple times a year.
She continues to be active at church, specifically singing in the church choir, and was recently invited with her sister (fellow alumnus Bailey Lund, Class of 2012) to participate as choral singers in a concert at Carnegie Hall in New York City this coming May!
Shelby says if you knew her during her 15 years at POPCS, chances are she hasn’t changed that much!
Great to hear all about how God is using you for His glory, Shelby!

After graduating from POPCS in 2020, Victoria Romanczyk attended SMU, where she was in the Honors Program, danced on the Pom Squad (and won an NCA Gameday National Championship!), and earned three degrees — in Economics, Statistical Science, and International Studies — plus minors in Educational Studies and History.
After graduating in 2024, she moved to Poland as a Fulbright English Teaching Assistant, teaching at universities and schools across the country, including those where her parents once studied. Victoria also represented her host institution in an Erasmus+ program on AI in Czechia, which she says was an unforgettable experience.
Victoria now lives in London, pursuing her master’s in International Health Policy (Health Economics) at the London School of Economics.
Victoria says she feels incredibly thankful for her POP teachers, who sparked her love of learning — that foundation carried her every step of the way through all she's done since graduation.
