She found her dental home at Bright Side Dental in 2013 while covering a shift for another hygienist. She immediately fell in love with the upbeat atmosphere and friendly staff and determined that, if a permanent position ever opened for her, she would take it. She happily joined the team a couple years later.
Shanna has spent the majority of her life in nearby Ririe, and is now raising her six children in the home where she was raised. She and her husband enjoy swapping goofy memes as a substitute for the romantic dates of their pre-child years.

Shanna loves music, playing the piano, and singing with her family. In her free time, she also plays with yarn - generally in the form of crocheting or knitting.
