Shannyn is mom to Milo, an 11th grader at PHS, and Madeleine, a sophomore at Mizzou. She earned her degree in HDFS from Penn State University and her teaching credentials at Chatham University. This background, along with having two children identified as G/T, has formed her understanding that being a gifted learner is not a guaranteed road to success. Shannyn’s education and experience in the classroom has inspired her passion for advocating for learning and growth, no matter a child’s ability or need. Over the years, she has developed a special interest in learning more about the gifted population who also have learning disabilities, known as Twice-Exceptional (2e). She is grateful to have this opportunity to work closely with Prosper ISD to enhance both the educational experience of G/T students and the way teachers and families are supported. This Fall, Shannyn begins her first year as a Doctoral student in UNT's Educational Psychology, Gifted & Talented Program.
