Her active participation in various community initiatives, including the development of the social media outreach for Ocotillo Lodge and TPNO, demonstrates her deep-rooted connection to the Palm Springs area and desire to share its unique qualities with the world.

Shannon's love for the city led her to purchase a condo here in 2014 which she self-managed as a vacation rental. She soon decided to move here full-time and ventured into the hospitality industry by establishing her own Co-Hosting business, "Host with the Most," in Palm Springs. 

In 2017, Shannon became actively involved with VRON, supporting the defeat of Measure C. Her commitment to VRON and their incredible service to the community led her to accept a position to volunteer as a board member in 2023.
