Q&A with Shannon
Why did you become a Physical Therapist?
I developed an interest in becoming a PT after having an injury and receiving excellent care from a dedicated therapist. It was a perfect fit for me because I could combine my passion for science and human anatomy with my interest in education and helping others.
What can patients expect when they see you in the clinic?
My evidence-based treatments are tailored to each of my patients’ unique needs. My patients can expect to be listened to. Even if a patient has had a negative experience elsewhere in the past, they can expect to have a fresh start here with me at Saunders. My patients will always find a friendly, intelligent, and caring therapist when they walk through my door.
When you’re not working, what do you like to do for fun?
I love spending time with my husband and our two children. I also love to travel. When I’m not working or at my children’s sporting events, I’m likely planning for our next adventure!
What are your favorite ways of staying healthy?
I belong to a local health club where I weight train and participate in group classes. I also enjoy cooking healthy homemade meals. I try to practice mindfulness and yoga consistently too.
Where is your hometown?
I am from Kingston, Ontario, Canada.
As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
When I was a kid, I was convinced I was going to be a professional dancer.
What is your favorite thing about living in Minnesota?
I love spending time in the North Shore and hiking by Lake Superior. I could do without the never ending winters though!
