"By recognizing the potential for forming partnerships at multiple levels, Shawna helped bring community leaders, agency personnel, scientists and the public together. As a manager and a mentor, she gave me the guidance and tools I needed to be able to work collaboratively with partners and to help empower communities towards making better forest management decisions. She inspired me to grow the skills I needed to do my job and trusted my abilities; after working with her I left feeling confident and encouraged."

"Shawna was a pleasure to work with both as a resource professional and as a project manager. She was diligent in working with a large variety of landowners, and their issues, and making the program work as smoothly and efficiently as possible. She understood both the program requirements and working in private industry, so that she was able to balance the requirements of the responsible agency with the needs of landowners and contractors. She is a highly organized and motivated professional and will be an asset to any organization with whom she associates."
~John Kessler Forester/Owner John Kessler Forestry |
"Shawna is not your average forester. With an exceptional set of communication skills, she is able to interpret and explain complex situations in terms that anyone can understand, and she can apply this ability to social groups to help tease out solutions that might otherwise go unnoticed."
~Dr. Bill Rockwell Forester/Owner Strategic Resource Systems "Shawna is effective at communicating her ideas, and she is a good listener. She does not micromanage, and encourages creativity and thinking outside the box. She gives constructive criticism when necessary, and relays how she has struggled at times yet persevered."
