Before entering provincial politics in 2007 and winning the riding of Southdale, the 47-year-old worked in broadcast news.
When driving, she enjoys listening to news and talk radio instead of music.
She's less into sports, preferring instead to take in city cultural events. Selby loves the Royal Winnipeg Ballet and says her favourite dancer was Evelyn Hart.
The last time she left Manitoba was in spring, when she went to a Commonwealth Parliamentary Association meeting in Bangladesh.

He played paintball competitively and recreationally for 25 years until undergoing a recent knee surgery. He has also coached teens in the sport.
Zaretski drives three vehicles: a bicycle, a Toyota Corolla and a Dodge Caravan he uses to transport his theatre equipment.
He and his wife last travelled outside of Manitoba when they camped at Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota — for the first time since their honeymoon.
