With a Master in Social Work from SNDT Women�s University - Mumbai, Shannon has more than 15 years of experience with a focus on indigenous human rights and child welfare. Shannon spent years in the field fighting for child rights and victims of human trafficking while working with renowned Mumbai-based non-profits like Justice and Care and Save the Children India. In 2011, she decided to return to Shillong to pursue her dream of working for her communities and started her work with the State Child Protection Society (ICPS) and also taught at Martin Luther Christian University. With her heart set on building community-driven interventions, Shannon co-founded Faith Foundation, an organization dedicated to gender justice and children�s rights in Meghalaya.

In recognition of its deep commitment to community-based transformation, Faith Foundation was the 2023 recipient of the Global Fund for Children Dignity Award.
