Shannon worked on the basal lineage of Penstemon, including phylogenetics, population genetics, and pollination ecology. She has continued her work on Penstemon with a focus on subgenus Saccanthera. She is currently an associate professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at California State University, Sacramento.
