Throughout studying at the ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥, Shannon worked as a football coach progressing from a community coach at The Albion Foundation and Wolverhampton Wanderers Foundation to the Under 14s Head Coach at Aston Villa RTC.

This is due to the support she received from all staff, who encouraged her to achieve goals she could not imagine possible. Transferring skills that Shannon developed academically, personally and professionally, she decided to utilise her skills and experiences in a completely new role.
