Sheila Robbins Campbell has always loved being around animals. Growing up on a small farm in Lafayette, Indiana, she enjoyed both FFA and 4-H, making her transition to Purdue University's agriculture/animal science program a natural one. After graduating in 1984, she made the move to Illinois, where she landed a job as a veterinary assistant for a local Schaumburg veterinary hospital.

Shortly after that, she made the jump to education, working as a teacher's assistant in the special education department of Hoffman Estates High School and earning her teaching certificate in 1986. Five years later, she headed east to Boston. But it wasn't long before a job in Chicago drew her back to her Midwest roots. From 1999 to 2009, she worked for a small Chicago publishing company as a customer service representative in their real estate division, honing the skills that would make her such a natural at her current job. Today, as the receptionist at Furnetic, Sheila puts her love of animals and exceptional customer service skills to good use, making the guests who arrive on two feet feel as welcome as all those who arrive on four.

Outside of the office, Sheila is a 12-year member of the DuPage Judge of Elections and an active member of the Illinois Doberman Rescue, assisting the organization with home visits, adopt-a-thons and important educational events. In her free time, Sheila enjoys attending estate sales with her husband, Thomas, and watching AMW with her pets — rescued Dobermans Roc and Lexus; along with Ray, Cleo and Hope, her three rescued cats.
