Get to Know Shannon
She’s a mom of four, a devoted daughter, and someone who shows up — fully — for the people she loves. Along with her two sisters, she plays an active role in caring for her parents, and she brings that same all-in spirit to her community, volunteering her personal time in more ways than most people could keep up with.
She’s also the kind of person who can’t help but dig deep. Whether she’s untangling a tough problem at work or just thinking through life, Shannon is wired to think carefully and find a way through.
And then there’s Disney World. Shannon visits several times a year, and she’ll be the first to tell you — it never gets old. There’s something extra special about Snow White for Shannon, though. Her dad used to call her Snow White when she was little, so every visit carries a little piece of him with it. She’s even got a photo with Snow White herself, which honestly says everything you need to know about her.
