Throughout studying at the University of Worcester, 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. Upon completion of her Masters, Shannon worked full time within the football and education programme at Kidderminster Harriers FC.
Having such a wonderful student experience, Shannon’s ambition was to work at the University of Worcester. This is due to the support she received from all staff, who encouraged her to achieve goals she could not imagine possible.
