Shannon has been passionate about animals from an early age. Growing up in Ottawa, she would always become very excited to see any animal that passed as her mother wheeled her around in a stroller. When she turned ten, she began riding lessons at a local stable - a passion that continues to this day. Shannon graduated from the Veterinary Technician program at Algonquin College in 2011, becoming a Registered Veterinary Technician later that summer. She has worked in various small animal hospitals in the Ottawa area and has a special interest in Internal Medicine. When she's not working, she spends her time on the family farm with her partner looking after her horse Bailey and yellow Labrador Retriever Maple.
