As a Director at Wealth Partners Capital Group, Shannon plays a central role in helping best-in-class Registered Investment Advisor firms grow through strategic M&A and partnership. Her work spans from identifying and building relationships with RIA principals across the country to guiding those relationships from first conversation through to closing.

A former Division I athlete, Shannon brings the same discipline and drive to her career that once defined her years on the soccer field. She grew up in Mt. Laurel, New Jersey, where she played throughout school at Paul VI and Lenape – winning a state championship along the way. She went on to play Division I Soccer at Saint Joseph's University, graduating Magna Cum Laude with A-10 Commissioner and four-year Athletic Director Honor Roll honors. Shannon holds a Bachelor's and Master's Degree in Experimental Psychology, laying the foundation for a career built on understanding people. She began working in alternative asset management in Greater Philadelphia before moving to New York City in 2020 to join Wealth Partners Capital Group.

Outside of the office, Shannon's life is anchored in faith – she attends church every Sunday and keeps a daily rosary meditation practice. She was married in Greece in 2022, a celebration that brought two families together and created memories still talked about today. In her spare time, she can often be found enjoying the best of New York City, from its restaurants and fitness studios to long walks along the West Side Highway. Shannon values quality time with family and friends, prioritizes healthy habits, and loves to travel with her husband, who is an exceptional planner.
