Shannon is a writer, blogger, and a former model who was runner-up on America's Next Top Model Season 1, who refused to do the nude shoot. She was also runner-up in her first pageant competition for Miss Ohio USA.
From her many personal defeats and victories she has a passion to be a "voice for God" that shares God's Truth with what she has learned from Him to encourage others that no matter the stronghold, brokenness, wounding, despair and disappointment, the Lord has a plan for our redemption, healing, wholeness and freedom through His love and mercy.
Shannon writes a blog about faith, relationships, beauty, fashion and travel; she also is a public speaker at churches, conferences and other events.
