Shellye Lyons

Senior Manager of Facilities Space Management and Planning

Shellye Lyons is an authentic and empathetic leader who believes it’s never too late to invest in yourself. Returning to school after age 50 taught her that with faith, discipline and determination, anyone can redefine their story. 

Lyons serves as the senior manager of facilities space management and planning at Dallas College. In her role, she oversees lease administration and tenant coordination to ensure compliance and operational efficiency across the college. Her role combines a love for operations, planning and service — and she also holds a real estate license. 

Inspired by her mother and grandmother and guided by her professors, Lyons discovered her passion for real estate and lifelong learning. Just as they encouraged her, she now finds joy in helping others recognize their potential and grow in confidence. 

When she’s not problem-solving or building relationships, you can find her hanging with her grandchildren or tapping into her creativity through writing, reading and playing the piano. She looks forward to inspiring others to stay motivated and pursue their dreams, no matter what stage of life they’re in.
