Born & raised in Kimberley, Shannon’s passion for healthy living, creative thinking and community building have led to a diversity of work experiences & education. Ranging from food sustainability, market gardening, herbalism, anthropology and dance, her diverse work background is well-suited to the adaptive nature of food recovery. In her role with Healthy Kimberley as the Food Recovery Depot Coordinator she has prioritized relationship-building and collaboration in the development of food recovery operations and a frozen meal program, in addition to other community-based food initiatives. Outside of work time, she treasures time with family and friends, taking deep breaths in the wilderness & being inspired by the patterns of nature.
