Shannon grew up in South Florida and began her athletic career as a gymnast. She later switched to diving and spent her early years diving for two time Olympic silver medalist and mentor, Michele Mitchell.
Shannon dove competitively all four years for East Carolina University while studying Exercise Physiology. After acquiring her Bachelors in Science, she worked as a personal trainer on the West coast and trained Olympic level athletes. She is currently a certified Pilates instructor with a focus on teaching core strength and injury prevention. Strength and conditioning is something that she has been teaching to divers for over two decades. She is passionate that it is a vital necessity to an athlete's success. Shannon has three children, two of which are divers! Her greatest hope is to make a positive and lasting impact in the lives of the young divers she coaches. |
