Shannon started supporting the cannabis industry over 8 years ago when named the first ORELAP Cannabis Laboratory Program Manager. In this position she coordinated, trained, audited, and created program policy for the first round of cannabis laboratories to be accredited in the state. Her place on the Oregon Laboratory Rules Advisory Committee allowed her to draft and advise policy and regulations supporting multiple state agencies, develop the first Oregon cannabis laboratory regulations, and a large portion of the technical cannabis legislation state-wide pertaining to good practices in cultivation, manufacturing, packaging and labeling. She also was instrumental in drafting the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MADPH) cannabis laboratory sub-regulatory requirements and guidance as well as the MADPH sampling protocols.

With a focus on clean compliance, she brings expertise from multiple industries to her services which include technical and product risk assessment, product control, litigation witness services, data management and validation, and analytical method development.
