Dr. Shannon was raised in Sykesville, Maryland where she grew up playing sports with her 2 sisters (Taylor and Erin) at a very young age. Through her own experience with physical therapy after a knee injury in High School, she became fascinated with different types of sports rehabilitation. In 2014 she graduated from Frostburg State University with her Bachelor's degree in Exercise and Sport Science. It was during her senior Internship at FSU when she first became interested in chiropractic, after completing over 400 field hours at Around the Back Family Chiropractic in Lavale, MD.

In 2015 she decided to continue her journey down to Georgia, where she would graduate with honors from Life University in Marietta with her Doctor of Chiropractic degree in 2018.
