Shannon has been coaching for 11 years, is an ICF Professional Certified Coach and received her coaching certification from the Georgetown Leadership Coaching Program. She uses tools such as the VIA Character Strengths survey and techniques from improv and the theatrical arts to help individuals and teams understand and value their strengths. Shannon enjoys working with individuals at any stage in their career – supporting them to bring their whole selves to work. She is also passionate about bringing the science of resilience to help mitigate the stress of our busy lives. She is also deeply involved in her own coaching practice where she is committed to a practical, evidence-based form of open discussion and feedback. She creates a safe space where clients bring concerns without judgment, yet where unhelpful behaviors are confronted and addressed. She considers coaching a rare opportunity to effect change on a deep level.

She was one of the first 100 people in the world to receive her Master of Applied Positive Psychology degree from the University of Pennsylvania. She is also a graduate of the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art and Yale College.
