🌟 Fab Administrator Friday Spotlight
Featuring: Shelly Kribs
St. Peter Family Medicine Residency Program — Olympia, WA

This week we’re celebrating Shelly Kribs, who has spent 8+ years strengthening family medicine education with leadership, creativity, and heart.

Shelly loves her work because of the people, the autonomy, the chance to teach, present, problem‑solve, and the joy of watching learners grow into faculty. She thrives with continuous learning, event planning, using her creativity, working with talented colleagues, enjoying one WFH day each week, and having her own sunny office.

💬 Shelly’s Advice for New Administrators
Be kind to yourself, stay open, and don’t give up.

Mistakes will happen — fix them, learn from them, and let them go.

Give yourself grace. Training truly takes 3+ years.

Lean on your team. Vulnerability builds connection.

Don’t assume negative intent.

🌼 Outside of GME
Shelly enjoys making jewelry, coloring, all kinds of art, staring at the trees, snuggling her daughter, movie nights with her husband, and meditating (when she remembers).

Help us celebrate Shelly — a creative, compassionate, and steady force in Family Medicine Administration.

🐕 Border Collie — efficient + focused

🐾 Bulldog — steady + unbothered

🐺 Husky — chatty + dramatic

🐱 Cat in a dog poll — independent

Drop your match below and tag a coworker who embodies one of these workplace “breeds.” Let’s see which personality leads the pack this year.

⭐ Mentorship Monday
“The delicate balance of mentoring someone is not creating them in your own image, but giving them the opportunity to create themselves.” — Steven Spielberg

In Family Medicine Administration, mentorship isn’t about shaping someone into who we are — it’s about opening doors, sharing wisdom, and empowering new administrators to grow into confident, capable leaders in their own right.

When we mentor, we strengthen our community. We build resilience. We help others discover their voice, their style, and their path forward. And in doing so, we elevate the future of our profession.

💛 If you’re interested in mentoring fellow administrators, we’d love to have you join our mentor community. Your experience can make a meaningful difference.

Together, we create space for others to thrive.
