Shannon Hardie joined the Kinkaid Science Department in 2010 and the Deans’ Office in 2018. Her favorite things about Kinkaid are her incredible colleagues, the numerous opportunities for professional advancement and development, and the amazing and inspiring students she is lucky to teach and mentor. In addition to her Deaning responsibilities, she teaches one section of Honors Chemistry, is a 12th grade Community Group Leader, an assistant coach for Girls Cross Country, and has served on the 9th-grade Admissions Committee. Shannon holds a B.S. in Biology from The University of Mississippi and a Ph.D. in Neuroscience from The University of Virginia. The same drive and passion for mentoring students that motivated her to pursue teaching also led to her seeking a position in the Deans’ Office after finishing the College Access Counseling Certificate Program through Rice University in 2017. Outside of work, she spends a lot of time trying to keep up with her 3 adventurous boys - her husband and two sons (ages 3 and 6). She also loves running, practicing yoga, listening to podcasts, and hanging out with her dog, Hailey.
