“My main philosophy has been to do what’s best for the patient and let the patient be a strong advocate for their own care. It’s important for me that patients feel supported and included in their care."

About Me
Shannon earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Penn State University and her Master of Science in Nursing from Chamberlain University. A native of Colorado, Shannon moved to Central Pennsylvania to pursue a degree in nursing from Penn State and decided to remain in the area as she pursued her nursing career.
Her time working as a dialysis nurse in the Philipsburg and Huntingdon communities sparked her interest in the treatment of chronic kidney disease. She was thrilled with the opportunity to work with Mount Nittany Physician Group Nephrology upon the completion of her Certification as a Nurse Practitioner.
When not working, Shannon enjoys spending time with her family, enjoying the outdoors and reading books.
