   Hi, I'm Shanon


My work lies at the intersections of science, history, medicine, magic, and spirit. Words are an attempt to communicate experiences we collectively share. I observe the world with the mind of a scientist and respond with the heart of an artist.

Hailing from the Midwest, I identify as a global citizen. I have lived across the globe. From  Chile to Norway, Alaska to Hawaii. Hiking and animal fostering fill the gaps between writing.

Education

I joyfully earned double major bachelor's degrees in theater/dance, and psychology with a minor in vocal music performance from the University of Alaska Anchorage. After a career in the arts, I earned a master's degree in Classical Five Element Acupuncture and a doctoral degree in naturopathic medicine. Now I write and learn.
