"There's nothing this girl can't do"
Shannon is one of the most hard-working individuals I have ever had the pleasure of working with. When I first started working with her, I saw that she was a very talented graphic designer and photographer and takes great care to ensure that her designs and photographs meet her own high standards of quality work. I sat next to her for about 6 months and noticed that any time someone came in and asked her to do something she didn't know how to do, she worked overtime to teach herself how to do it. She is also amazing at producing high-quality work on tight deadlines. I've said it before and I'll say it again, there's nothing this girl can't do!
