Midwest implant, who has gladly called Tucson home for a couple of decades. While proud of her Illinois upbringing and family up north, she’s now a firm enthusiast of Tucson winters – often embarrassing her family with the number of layers she wears for any weather under 70 degrees.
A lifelong, avid student of languages and cultures, ShaunMonet graduated from the University of Arizona, spent a year teaching English in Japan and then went on to get her master’s at The Thunderbird School of Global Management.
ShaunMonet loves to travel (domestic and foreign), enjoys cooking some, enjoys eating out even more and loves absolutely ALL THINGS Neil Diamond.
