About Shanna
I am a former high school English teacher with a master’s degree in School Counseling, a writer, singer, and lifelong learner. My first degree was in Agricultural Business, and I spent over a decade in ranching, rodeo, and working as a Large Animal Veterinary Technician. I also coached high school varsity volleyball for 12 years, with three years at the collegiate level, helping athletes reach their fullest potential.
Recently, I left education to support my husband, who is the Superintendent of our town’s district, and I currently have two years of experience in the medical staffing industry. My husband is a First Lieutenant in the South Dakota Army National Guard, with 11 years of service and two deployments. We have a 14-year-old son who is active in sports, theater, and church, and a beloved dog named Husker.
As an educator, I focused on building positive relationships with students, parents, and staff. As a Locums Coordinator, I aim to establish similar relationships with clients, providers, and my team. Transparency and clear communication are essential to me, and I strive to support those on the frontlines of the healthcare system.

Buy 50-100 acres in the western Nebraska Sandhills near Alliance to build a home with a barn and horse arena or purchase an existing ranch.

Travel to unique, quiet places across the country to enjoy their beauty.
