Shaelin grew up in a small town on the eastern slopes of the Sierra Nevada where she developed a love of the outdoors. After four sunny years in San Luis Obispo and one cloudy year in Copenhagen, she received her Bachelor of Architecture with a Sustainable Environments Minor from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. Upon graduating in 2019, her surfing wasn’t very good and the mountains called her back, so she returned to Truckee and MWA where she had spent the previous two summers as an intern. Shaelin can now be found skiing the snowy slopes in winter, biking the dusty trails in summer, and home-brewing kombucha all year-round.

Kurt Reinkens and MWA designed my commercial building in downtown truckee after an explosion destroyed the historic building. Kurt delivered a building that fit nicely in old downtown truckee and the construction project came in on time and on budget. It does not get any better than that.
I was legal counsel to the design review committee of the Lahontan subdivision in Truckee during its first five years and as such saw all of the projects that came before the committee for review and approval. Kurt Reinken’s projects, and there were many, were nothing less than spectacular in design. Kurt is very bright and creative and I highly recommend him. Jim Porter, development attorney
