Shannon Smith is third generation Idahoan. Always interested in different cultures, religions and languages, Shannon chose to study at The American University of Rome earning her bachelor’s degree in International Relations. She stayed in Rome for her graduate degree earning a Master of Arts in Government and Politics with an emphasis on International Relations and a Certificate of International Law and Diplomacy from St. John’s University.
That global perspective influenced her to start working at the UN World Food Programme in the shipping department sending bulk food aid to countries experiencing famine and disasters. In 2012 she returned to Boise and started working at ClickBank, one of the Treasure Valley’s top tech companies. Initially hired to help provide customer assistance for Italian speakers, she rose up the ranks and currently serves as Director of Account Management. Her unique international education and life experiences have allowed her to identify individuals for her team that carry the same global perspective and dynamic life experiences. She has grown her staff’s talents through meaningful one on ones, team building focused on highlighting each individual’s unique strengths, and making actionable plans for furthering career goals.
Outside of work Shannon is a weekly regular at her favorite yoga studio, can be found way too chipper at 6:00AM every morning at Orangetheory Fitness, and serving at Red Rock Christian Church by helping organize events. Shannon is a devoted mom and is supported by her partner of 12 years, two stepchildren, and–depending on the day–tolerated by her 8-year-old daughter.
