Experience
After graduating from Temple University in Philadelphia, Shannon relocated to Fuzhou, China, for a year to teach English as a second language. Afterward, she spent two years traveling and living around Southeast Asia, where she taught ESL in Vietnam and Thailand. This adventure led her to freelance writing, where she wrote copy and blog articles for tourism companies and lifestyle websites.
She eventually moved back to the United States, where she built a career in writing and editing for large brands and media companies like Healthline, MedicalNewsToday, and National Geographic. Shannon started diving into the commerce space, testing products and writing about them. She’s written commerce content for brands like GQ, SELF, Shape, National Geographic, VeryWellHealth, VeryWellFit, CNN Underscored, Forbes Vetted, and Business Insider.
