Shortly after graduating, Shannon earned her MBA from Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee. While completing her MBA, she began her career in the manufacturing industry working as a Business Analyst for Alcoa Fujikura.

Favorite Quote: “It is always easier to decide in favor of the short term, the convenient, and the simplest to execute, but the long term, less convenient, and toughest to execute will give you better understanding, strength, and wisdom for the future.” – Jack Cline (Shannon’s Father)
Why Ukrop’s? Knowing that the people you work with are like family and support each other during the best and worst of times.
