West Chester University in West Chester, PA A Message from Shannon Flynn
Starting as a casual technology hoarder, I've developed a love for all things tech and continue to learn and appreciate the ins-and-outs of the industry. I love decoding security jargon, explaining business processes and tinkering with the next popular consumer device. I am happiest when I'm lounging with a good book, so long as it's a Mac.
