~Meet Our Team~
Shelby Franklin
Owner & Head Culinarian
Meet Shelby!
Shelby is the boss lady behind it all! She has taken healthy living and cooking, and combined them to form what you all know as The Prepped Box! Shelby is in charge of prepping, cooking, and finalizing all of the orders placed each week. Shelby’s love language is cooking delicious meals for others, combine that with the 10+ years of knowledge with health and fitness and voila!
Shelby enjoys staying fit and active, and has previously held a CPT certification through NASM. Not long after this achievement, she was introduced to Veterinary Medicine. She then spent over a decade as a Veterinary Technician on multiple racehorse tracks and small animal hospitals in the tristate area.
For the last couple of years she has been a stay-at-home mom to a perfect little girl, but itching to bring something else to the table for herself and her family. There she took the love of cooking, paired it with the healthy foods she had been eating and feeding her own family, and offered them to others.
Since November of 2023, Shelby has been serving the tristate with healthy, macro-friendly meals that not only taste good, but actually make it sustainable to stick to healthier eating habits.
With a rapidly growing small business and an ambitious, driven business owner, Shelby decided to take it to the next level by applying for an LLC. With that, she offers you Prepped Box, LLC.
When Shelby isn’t in the kitchen or enjoying time with her family, you can find her with a Kindle in hand reading a psychological thriller, jamming out to Jack Harlow in the home gym, solving life’s problems with retail therapy, or practicing self-care. If you were to catch Shelby at the kitchen, her headphones would be playing the “My Favorite Murder” podcast, or Zach Bryan Essentials on Apple Music. If you happen to see her outside of the kitchen, I bet she’s wearing statement earrings and a hairstyle she copied from TikTok. Shelby’s favorite meal of all time is her mom’s beef roast with mashed potatoes & gravy with carrots. She’s also a Diet Coke girlie through and through!
Lindsay Wilhelm
Assistant Culinarian
Meet Lindsay!
Lindsay is our Assistant Culinarian working primarily at our Indiana kitchen! She’s the one in charge of the most important tasks in the kitchen and is the reason we can keep things running so smoothly and staying efficient! She is meticulous in all aspects of her work, has an eye for detail, and is the epitome of a team player.
Lindsay is a Licensed Cosmetologist and Licensed Cosmetology Instructor where she formerly taught at the Southeastern Career Center. She now lives out her dream at two salon locations in the surrounding areas! She has 16+ years of experience in the beauty industry! Lindsay’s favorite arts to practice in the salon are hair color and skin care with a future goal of delving deeper into the best skin care products and techniques!
When Lindsay isn’t in the kitchen or salon, she is probably somewhere outside! Nature’s number one fan right here! From taking her four-legged babies (Roxy & Zoey) on walks on the cool, fall days, taking hiking trips with her hubby, kayaking on the lake, or catching a round of golf at the club in the summer, she loves to be outdoors!
Lindsay lives and leads a healthy & balanced lifestyle. While she enjoys eating healthy, whole foods, she also loves good, home-cooked comfort food! Her favorite meals are homemade tacos, Beer Can Chicken with broccoli & potatoes made on the smoker, shrimp scampi, and her Grandpa’s homemade spicy chili! And it wouldn’t be complete without the best bottle of local wine to pair it with!
Krystal Kemper
Website Coordinator & Social Media Manager
Meet Krystal!
Krystal is our Website Coordinator and Social Media Manager! She is in charge of all the refreshing updates you see on the website and coordinates all of the fun games and giveaways on our social media accounts.
Krystal has an excellent knack for engaging with our clients, keeping us up-to-date with interactive content, and excels in verbal communication and management.
Krystal is a licensed stock broker and has a background in finance, but is currently a stay-at-home mom to her two toddlers! When she isn’t chasing them around at the Zoo, she enjoys catching up on her most recent fantasy novels at book club, watching “Suits”, attending a Hardy concert, riding around on a sunny day with the windows down belting out her favorite pop punk playlists, or catching a hot game of Bingo at the VFW lodge! If you catch Krystal in the wild, she’s probably wearing her crocs.
Krystal’s favorite food is Mexican, but if she were eating her “last meal” she would order a pot roast sandwich with mayo, a loaded baked potato, a crisp house salad with French dressing, and a margarita on the rocks!

Meet Sam!

If Sam isn’t busy listening to the “Anatomy of Murder” podcast while crocheting all of her friends baby blankets, she’s either lounging with a dramatic thriller while her 3 dogs, (Piper the Labrador Retriever, Opal the Great Dane, and Cashew the Golden-doodle) keep her company, or attending a Reds Baseball game.
