She attended Mountain View High School and was a former cheerleader for the Portland Trail Blazers when she was 19. Throughout her schooling years, she constantly participated in drama activities, dance competitions and choir singing. In 2003, she appeared on the series Fame and ended up as a runner-up to Harlem Lee. Shannon, together with Danity Kane members Aubrey and Aundrea, also did the catwalk for the Dizon Playboy Fashion Show.
