Born and raised in Astoria, Oregon, Shannon holds a B.A. in Art History from University of Oregon and an M.L.I.S. from the University of Washington. She arrived at Tucker Maxon in 2019 as a kindergarten mom with decades of experience in school, public, and academic libraries. Before she knew it, a volunteer gig had turned into the job of Tucker Maxon librarian, and she’s been building the program ever since!

Shannon has added a handful of hats to her repertoire over the years, most recently taking on the roles of social media manager and enrollment coordinator. She is the humble correspondent of the Tucker Maxon Community News, the karaoke DJ Dewey Decimator, and the person who checks on the goats during an ice storm. Shannon is passionate about ensuring that every student can see themself in our library collection and that every family feels welcome and beloved.

When she’s not on campus, Shannon enjoys spending time with her husband and kid (both stalwart Tucker Maxon volunteers), planespotting, learning Greek, singing loudly, and traveling with family and friends.
