(She/Her) Shannah joins the Friends of Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens with a wildlife biology and conservation background. She graduated from Towson University in August 2016 with a Bachelor’s in Biology. She has studied black caiman, prairie dogs, and box turtles, among other species. Her passions include connecting minority groups to science and giving back to her community. She mentors undergraduate members of her multicultural sorority (Sigma Lambda Gamma National Sorority, Inc.) and encourages them to spend time in nature. She enjoys hiking, rock climbing, watching anime and cosplaying, going to the movies, trying new recipes, and exploring outdoor spaces around Maryland and DC.

Since joining FoKAG in January of 2021, Shannah has assisted in implementing the volunteer program, WELLderness: An Outdoor Wellness Series and leading pond-dipping exercises with campers during week-long Jr Ranger Adventure Squad camps. She is excited to continue fostering the connections she has made with the residents in Wards 7 & 8 and regular volunteers.
