Shauna came to the Pittsburgh area in 2011 and received her Masters of Social Work with a concentration in Social Administration and Community Organizing from the University of Pittsburgh. Since then she has been pleased to work with school districts throughout the region of Western Pennsylvania, offering various supports to help them thrive.

In her previous role as the Director of School Initiatives and Partnerships at the United Way of Southwestern Pennsylvania, her work included overseeing grants, managing relationships between major companies and schools, and creating coalitions with community stakeholders to address barriers affecting students. In that time she was also a frequent speaker, training thousands of individuals on best practice strategies to improve school attendance, and on how to successfully create community campaigns.

Shauna has worked alongside Allies for Children for many years, and is so grateful to now be a part of this incredible team doing incredible work on behalf of children and youth in the region.

Shauna and her husband have two beloved daughters that keep growing up too fast. When she is not spending time with them, she enjoys gardening, reading, and teaching ballet, tap and contemporary dance classes at a local dance school.
