Getting to Know You

Shannan Pearsall

Say Hello to Shannan Pearsall, Program Coordinator, Integrated Learning!

Tell us a little about yourself...elevator pitch style!
I am a mom of two boys, Aidan (16) and Nolan (13), and have been married to my husband Nick for 20 years this year! As a family, we’ve learned that anything is possible when you put your head and your hearts together!

Fun Fact Unique To You
Growing up, I learned the importance of giving back and supporting my community. As parents, we’ve helped instill this in our children as well. For more than 10 years, along with family and friends, I have organized a huge toy drive to benefit pediatric cardiology patients!

Favorite TV Show/Movie/Book
True crime, medical mysteries - these are for me! I welcome recommendations!

Tell Us Your Favorite Hobbies or a To-Do on Your Bucket List
I love to cook! I’ve challenged myself over the last few years to take family favorites and find a way to make them a little healthier. Life is about balance - make a few swaps and enjoy!

What brought you to the Zucker School of Medicine and the world of higher education?
Having worked in higher education prior to becoming a parent, I knew my intention was to someday return to higher ed . When I saw that the Zucker School of Medicine had an opening, I felt like it was the perfect opportunity for me to blend my personal and professional experiences.
