SHAWNA LOVSNESS

Secretary
Shawna has worked in the field of early learning for 20 plus years. She attended College of the Redwoods and majored in Early Childhood Education where she obtained an Associates Teaching Credential, and later her B.A. in Psychology and Family Services at University of Phoenix. At an early age, Shawna discovered her passion and love to see families and children thriving in their communities and she never looked back. She has experience as a teacher with children ranging from infants to preschool, a home visitor, mentor, and coach. Shawna has lived in Central Oregon for over 12 years but currently resides in Southern Oregon with her husband and two boys. The majority of her work experience is with non-profit organizations, and she understands the difficulties families face every day. She is currently working at Southern Oregon Head Start as an Early Head Start Home Visitor. This a critical role and she finds it extremely rewarding and important to be a strong advocate for the success of the families she is supporting.
Shawna has exceptional people skills, and children and families value her kindness,
compassion, and expertise. She has the innate ability to change a negative situation into a positive. Shawna is willing to go the extra mile for others and is excited to be part of a team that will change lives with the Diaper Bank.
