Bio

Shannah’s pursuit of living life to the fullest has taken her worldwide with various communications-focused jobs, from teaching in Kenya to consulting in the United Kingdom. After moving to North Texas in 1998, she spent nearly 20 years in the professional services market. Shannah now serves as the Director of Communications and Community Outreach for the City of Plano, Texas. Outside work she and her husband lead a running training program for those aspiring to complete 5ks, 10ks, half and full marathons. In addition to training others, they are running #50by55 - completing a half (Shannah) and full (her husband) marathon in each of the 50 states. They're on schedule to finish the quest by fall 2024.
