I help local health departments solve common data challenges — especially small numbers — and turn complex data into practical tools that non-technical audiences can understand and use.

Many local health departments face complex data questions under tight staffing and increasing public scrutiny. With 25 years of public health experience, I provide steady support that strengthens both analytic work and community trust.

Health department leadership can benefit from:

Flexible epidemiology support without hiring full-time staff
A credible outside expert to explain data to boards or community groups

Local epidemiologists can benefit from:

Practical support through mentoring, being an experienced sounding board for data projects, and support communicating data to non-technical audiences
My Epi Bootcamp workshop series
No-cost resources, including the Local health data analysis and communication toolkit, which provides practical guidance for local epidemiologists

"Shannon has been a trusted epidemiology partner to our department for more than a decade. She brings a depth of experience that shows up in practical ways — she can take a vague request or concern and turn it into a report that is actually useful. She listens carefully to the questions our leadership and community are asking, answers them directly, and explains complex data in a way people can understand without oversimplifying it. We value her steady presence, sound judgment, and the clarity she brings to our work."

- Carole Harrison, MBA, Director, Local health department
