Good morning, could write permissions be provided to @ShelbyStarr?

hi @WillMcCormack. I've added @ShelbyStarr to vets.gov-write.

@ShelbyStarr be sure to reach out to me on Slack and we can get your orientation scheduled.

@shiragoodman could we get Shelby added to the digital service @ VA slack workspace? We have been impacted by this inadvertent ZenHub reshuffling.

Shelby is working to get her orientation set up.

hey @WillMcCormack - to get Shelby added to the DSVA workspace, you need to submit a request in the #slack-workspace-admin channel using the support workflow (the little lightening bolt in the corner). Select the "Request User Change" option.
