It is no wonder Shannon has attracted some of the biggest names in the culinary world as clients, as she manages to bring highly refined communication, planning, and organizational skills to every thoughtful event she creates and manages. Shannon has hired me for events ranging from a culinary demo for top-tiered R.D.s to launch a cutting-edge food product; an online cooking class for teens to incorporate California strawberries into their diet; and an in-person meet and greet with a farmer to tell the most authentic story on social media. I have never seen a problem Shannon can’t solve between her client and influencer. She immediately identifies what the client needs to be satisfied, then works closely with her partners to ensure their perspective is also heard before suggesting a solution. It's rare to meet people whose organizational strengths and creative strengths are equally strong. I'm so grateful to have opportunities to partner with Shannon.
I’ve known Shannon for more than 15 years and I simply can’t say enough about her as both a professional and human being. She’s an absolutely amazing partner. Her relationships with key media and content creators is exceptional. She’s organized and thorough and simply knows how to get stuff done. We recently worked on a project for Mezzetta and helped with every detail. She helped set the tone and vibe of the entire event from the invitations to the music played in the room to thank you gifts to attendees. She was able to source hand-made bowls from a small town in Italy. The bowls were the perfect heartfelt keepsake and absolutely struck a chord with all attendees. Not sure how she pulled it off, but it’s a great example of her persistence and creativity. She makes the work easy and fun, and I’ll certainly be working with her again!
