Shannon Specht

Public Relations Manager

Shannon started out as an aspiring writer who majored in both journalism and political science at St. Bonaventure University, where she was honored as the runner-up for the Mark Hellinger Award—an award given to the top graduates of the Jandoli School of Journalism & Mass Communication. After meeting our own Dick Shaner, she joined his firm at the time and worked with such clients as Independent Health, Catholic Charities, Disney on Ice (Feld Entertainment), Phillips Lytle, and St. Bonaventure University. Now an Excalibur Award-winning public relations professional, Shannon continues working with our healthcare and nonprofit clients on a part-time basis. Outside of work, she enjoys family time with her husband and three young children.
