For many who receive support from Aspire, Shannon has been there every step of the way. Shannon started with the organization in 1991 working at Pendleton House which provided respite for children at that time. Since then Shannon has worked in programs supporting individuals from childhood through every stage of adulthood, and has been instrumental in the growth of programs and supports offered by Aspire.

Shannon believes that the lifelong supports offered by Aspire is what makes the organization unique, but also ensures that individuals and families are encouraged to plan, learn, dream and grow. From supporting a child to learn new skills, to empowering people through Community Inclusion programs, Shannon is committed to ensuring that Aspire is there; providing diverse programs with the same goal – to encourage the people we support to live rich, fulfilled lives.

Shannon served as Acting Executive Director beginning in January 2020 and was appointed CEO in October of the same year. She has demonstrated unwavering leadership leading the organization through an unprecedented health crisis, while continuing to focus on delivering services that make Aspire a leader in the community living sector.
