Hey! I’m Shanna.  In December 2005 I graduated from Ouachita Baptist University in Arkadelphia, AR, with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Counseling.  I am currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Human Resource Management from University of Houston-Clear Lake.  I work full-time in the Office of Admissions at University of Houston-Clear Lake as an Enrollment Management Counselor and Corporate Recruiting Coordinator.  Basically, I recruit graduate students to our master’s programs, counsel them on the admissions process, and a whole lot of other things that I don’t have time to mention here. 

I was saved at a youth conference in Yadkinville , NC when I was a teenager.  I spent the last four years traveling and singing with my family.  In January 2007 I felt God calling me down a different path and made the decision to quit traveling and focus on my career and other ministries within my home church.  I enjoyed the time He allowed me to spend singing for Him, and I love and support my family who continues to travel and sing for the Lord.  Thank you all for the love and support you’ve shown to our family!
