Selby earned a bachelor's degree in communications studies from Concordia University.
She previously co-hosted Breakfast Television on Citytv Winnipeg alongside Jon Ljungberg from August 4, 2005, to March 23, 2007. Before signing on with Citytv, she was a weather anchor for Global News Montreal and the consumer watch reporter for CTV Winnipeg. She also appeared in several movies as a reporter, including The Art of War with Wesley Snipes.
Selby was elected as the MLA for the NDP in the riding of Southdale in the 2007 Manitoba provincial election.
It was announced on March 28, 2011, that Greg Selinger, the Premier of Manitoba, had appointed Selby to be Manitoba's new Minister of Advanced Education and Literacy. She replaced Diane McGifford, who planned not to run again in the provinical election that fall.[1][2]
In October 2013, Selby became Manitoba's Health Minister. Just over a year later, she resigned her cabinet position on November 3, 2014, along with Jennifer Howard, Theresa Oswald, Stan Struthers, and Andrew Swan as part of an ultimately unsuccessful cabinet revolt due to concerns about Premier Selinger's leadership.[3] She remained an NDP MLA after her resignation.
Selby was the NDP candidate in the riding of Saint Boniface—Saint Vital in the 2015 Canadian federal election, coming a distant third; Dan Vandal won the constituency for the Liberal Party in its near sweep of Winnipeg-area federal seats.
