About SHANNON

I currently work a full time 3rd shift Security position with the State of TN, so my availability is in the mornings and late afternoons/ early evenings. I have a medical assistant background and home health care experience with a focus on disabled veterans. I feel that we owe our veterans so much for their time served and I am honored to help them in whatever way I can. What I enjoy most in being a caregiver is actually sitting with and getting to know my clients and listening to their stories. A personal achievement that I am proud of is that I take many courses on the VHA website to better understand the different types of injuries our veterans deal with and to understand the processes they undertake in dealing with the VA.
