Shannon began her health care career because she loved working with older adults. Her goal is to enrich the community and have a positive impact on patients as they age. She partners her patients to provide the tools and knowledge to manage their health. Shannon self admits that she is a bit quirky and funny, but also compassionate. Away from work, she enjoys hiking in desert landscapes, baking, fiction writing and animal care. As a former alpaca farm owner, she loves to interact with almost every type of animal.
