Very impressive. Hope you don’t mind one minor piece of advice which I was given, start with the newest at the top, not the oldest. I did this with some photographs and it worked much better, and is the usual practice with a CV. You have a great future ahead Shannon!
Great advice! I’ll look into changing that
~SAT
Changed it
Thank you for your helpful suggestion.

Glad to help! You have given me an idea to list my published works, but yours is far more impressive. I do enjoy reading about the course you are on. I did Fine Art 40 years ago and what you talk about is very useful.
I’d love to read about how you came to where you are today. I’m very intrigued by paths.
~SAT
P.S Thank you for the compliments :]
Hey Shannon! Are you going to come to Tucson for the Festival of Books?
I wish, but I’m in school. What a great opportunity though! If you go, you’ll have to tell me about it.
~SAT
Totally understand! I will be there – I have a booth in the Children’s Section. It’s going to be fun and crazy at the same time. I will post updates about it after!
Looking forward to hearing about it
~SAT
Shannon, I like that you have compiled this list of readings, publications, and news stories. It helps to see the other ways you get your name and writing out there besides the usual social networks
