Shannon is a native Washingtonian who finds her happy place both “playing” with science and outdoors, immersed in the natural world. The more hands on she can be, the better! She holds a BS in Biology and MS in Environmental Policy and Management, with a concentration in Fish and Wildlife Management. Having grown up in the Puget Sound region, she has always felt deeply connected and drawn to the marine environment, in particular, wildlife and birds. She is driven by this connection, her constant curiosity, and eagerness to learn about and care for the world around her. Shannon is an avid walker and amateur wildlife photographer. She loves to travel, boat, hike, and eat good food…and she absolutely ADORES Pigeon Guillemots. She is very excited to take on this role as the SSGN PIGU Breeding Survey’s Program Coordinator and to help see us through another successful season with her positive energy and support.
