Director of Finance
With over 25 years of experience in finance and accounting, Shannon brings both private and public sector expertise to her role. Her career began humbly in the private sector as a receptionist, where she quickly discovered a passion for numbers and problem-solving. That early spark led her to pursue formal training in accounting, and from there, she steadily advanced, building a career grounded in precision, integrity, and a deep commitment to fiscal responsibility.
More than 11 years ago, Shannon transitioned into the public sector, where she found her true calling. While she has always loved numbers, she discovered greater fulfillment in using them to serve the community and ensure resources are managed wisely for the benefit of others.
Over the years, Shannon has developed expertise in budgeting, financial reporting, compliance, and analytics. Her approach blends traditional accounting discipline with a forward-thinking view of how financial insights can shape strategy and improve outcomes.
At her core, Shannon believes numbers tell a story — one of accountability, sustainability, and opportunity. She takes pride in making sure that story reflects both accuracy and impact.
