Shannon Waters is proud to be the first
female Marine Sergeant to play the game of SURVIVOR. Although
she has completed her military service and is now in the
world of sales, Shannon will always remain true to her roots
as a second generation Marine.
After serving her country for five years, Shannon
went onto become a chef before changing gears to be a sales
representative for a food service company. She credits her
success to her industry knowledge and people skills. In her
sales role, she feels connected to people soon after meeting
them and is able to understand how to deliver what they genuinely
need. This ability helped her achieve “Salesman of
the Year” in 2008, along with the support of a great
sales team.
On the weekends, Shannon splits her time between
riding her Harley, which she’s affectionately named “Chunky”,
enjoying the companionship of her dogs and hanging out with
family. As number 8 out of 9 kids, she has plenty of family
in close proximity to keep her busy.
Shannon is committed
to preparing for the game. She has lost 4 pant sizes and
70 pounds but admits that she may have trouble staying under
the radar. “I’m like this
ball of energy just ready to explode, because I’m putting
it out there and I think that rocks.”
Shannon is a native
of Renton, Wash., where she currently resides with her canine
kids Bruce and Kali."
