Shannon Pearson is a Communications support at McMurtrie Consulting Engineers. Colleagues describe them as "Although I did not manage Shannon directly, I was lucky enough to work with her on several digital campaigns (Shannon being responsible for the content creation and distribution while I managed the digital platforms in use). Shannon not only showed a great understanding of the platforms themselves—including website content management systems, social media and email marketing platforms—but also an excellent understanding of the 'why' behind each platform's use. Through this combination of technical know-how and writing ability, Shannon has been able to produce effective marketing content that has been specifically targeted and delivered to appropriate audiences through a variety of digital platforms. Technical ability is one thing. Compassion and understanding of the content and audience is another. Shannon delivers on both fronts. I would work with her again in a heartbeat." and "Shanon was my supervisor for two years in the Alumni and Development Office at QUT. With Shannon, I had the opportunity to report to a supervisor who was a coach and a mentor. I always felt that Shannon was able to listen to any concerns I had and act upon them. Shannon is efficient and hard working and I value the time I spent working with and learning from her. I was always particularly impressed with Shannon's ability to take control of difficult or unexpected situations with a calm and confident manner. Any team would be lucky to have Shannon on their side. "
