As Learning and Training Manager, Shanna supports all of CC’s programs and projects by identifying and developing professional development and learning opportunities that are relevant to CC’s mission, including (but not limited to) the CC Certificates.
Prior to joining CC, Shanna worked for 15 years as a librarian across multiple institutions – K-12 school, public, government, and academic. They have worked in public/access services, technical services and cataloging/metadata, and administration, ultimately serving as director for the John Stewart Memorial Library at Wilson College and the Guthrie Memorial Library in Hanover, PA. Their research during this time primarily involved copyright reform, cultural heritage, open access, open education, and social justice.
Shanna remains an active member of the American Library Association, Rotary International, and several local community service organizations. They currently hold a master’s degree in Data Analytics from Penn State University, a master’s degree in Library and Information Sciences from Rutgers University, a graduate certificate in Educational Technology Integration from Boise State University, and bachelor’s degrees in both Philosophy and Linguistics from Brandeis University. When not working, you can usually find them reading, making music, or knitting.
