vice president

Shannon Thomas

Hi! I’m a sophomore majoring in International Relations and minoring in Mandarin. I have been involved with the Rotary since high school and pride myself on creating an engaged and networking community of people to do community service projects. Getting involved and helping others thrive has long been a mission of mine. I aim to make as much of an impact wherever I go, creating a lasting positive effect in every community I serve. Other than having a strong passion for community service I also strive to spread mental health awareness and advocate against the use of drugs and alcohol in teens, often serving the Cebrin Goodman Teen Institute, being a Teen Ambassador for my hometown's Health Department, and being a founding member of their action team aiming to end the stigma around mental health and advocating against drugs and alcohol.
