Shannan Yates - Nurse
Shannan Yates - Nurse
Shannan Yates is a powerhouse. Fact. Whilst she was shredding her way to first place on the Freeride World Tour in 2014 she was also completing a nursing degree to become an emergency nurse. And her grades were so good she made it to the Dean’s list every semester.
She has been snowboarding competitively for twenty years and before starting nursing school, she worked as a veterinary technician. Having two careers on the go is no mean feat, and if last year is anything to go by, she shows no signs of slowing down.
Shannan lives in Utah and her favourite mountain is Snowbird, so if you’re in the area and need to visit the hospital, you may well bump into her. Every cloud has a silver lining.
