With experience in Education, EdTech industry, and Tech Sales Enablement, I have worn many hats and achieved many goals. On a regular basis I am collaborating with cross-functional teams to accomplish both short term and long-term goals. I have strong technical skills with business software applications; specifically experience working with Salesforce, Confluence,AWS, Slack, Google, Gong, and MS Suite to manage projects across teams and track data. In my roles I naturally set myself apart by finding solutions and strategizing implementation of systems to streamline effectiveness. I have created trainings for both internal and external stakeholders from conception to presentation. I regularly present to high level audiences such as superintendents and C suite members. I have a proven track record of building relationships with customers, teammates, and executive leadership to achieve strategic growth. I excel at a role with opportunity to create solutions for internal and external stakeholders, while building relationships. I have strong organizational skills and can see solutions to problems and avoid costly pitfalls. I look at the big picture to find possible stumbling blocks while also analyzing details to make sure to always put the best product forward. I’m passionate about creating solutions, presenting to stakeholders, using innovation, and bringing people together to problem solve. I love connecting people and building relationships that create shared opportunity, growth, and success. I’m also the world’s most obvious enneagram 8 and proudly so… I am passionate. I am honest and expect and appreciate honesty in return. I see potential and push to make it happen. I am always looking for ways to make things better, improve outcomes, and get the best out of each person or situation. Let’s do great things!!

Founder brand. Messaging + Positioning. Coaching + Organizational Development. Working with early stage start up founders to define messaging and positioning, brand and thought leadership as well as marketing org structure and go-to-market strategy. I love the messy middle of the early stage, with a want to test and grow, from my experience in venture capital and Series A. Problems I solve: - Muddy messaging or unclear positioning - Lack of revenue talent or need for coaching - Website that doesn't convert - Founders that need a unique perspective in the market - Lack of clarity on product differentiation and messaging Fractional marketing leadership + consulting. Project work.

Hello there, I'm Shannon! ☺️ I prioritize intention, responsiveness, and accessibility at the heart of design and solutions. My time in the nonprofit and education space has always been rooted in my commitment to make room for those who share the struggles and big questions that define my work. As an educator, it was my responsibility to foster a space where learning was relevant, engaging, and meaningful. I could not have done this work without the expertise of my students and colleagues. Design thinking and research was a part of my daily practice as an educator who strived to honor the identities and lived experiences of my students. This was a collaborative, ongoing process of whole class discussions, surveys, affinity maps, formative and summative assessments, and particularly, honest and tough conversations. I have been humbled by the opportunity to learn alongside 188 14-16 year olds for the last two years. My students reminded me of the power of CARE when designing spaces that best optimized and measured the success (and joy) of its users. They challenged me to persistently understand the significance of relevancy and accessibility, drawing form cross-cultural knowledge, language, gender identity, disability justice, and so much more. I hope to share their lessons in the next space that welcomes me. I am excited to continue "doing me" and grow my work as I create meaningful experiences/solutions for users! I would love to connect and chat about your career journey. If you are looking to connect because your journey overlaps with mine, please, let's chat!
