Up Close With Shannon Barnes

Shannon Barnes

Current job: I am the business operations manager at Peoples Injury Network Northwest (PINN). I am truly blessed to work for such an amazing company and a great team of co-workers. We have clinics in Vancouver, Olympia, Tacoma and Kent, and just opened our 5th clinic in Seattle.

Proudest professional moment: My proudest professional moment is now! I try always to live in the moment. I have had many great opportunities with PINN managing the front office, meeting new people, helping clients feel special and getting them back to work. Every day there is something new happening and new people to meet. Helping people is the greatest feeling/accomplishment of all.

First job: My first paying job was at Taco Bell. That was quite a learning experience.

Fun fact: I love to play softball and spend time with my family

Favorite spot on a Saturday night: I must say my favorite spot on a Saturday night would be with my family on the boat and a little quiet marina somewhere that we’ve never ventured to.

Favorite movie: My all-time favorite movie is “Pretty Woman.” Julia Roberts has always been someone that has intrigued me. My mom (who is pretty amazing) even handmade every outfit for me that Julia Roberts wears in that movie – well, besides the one dress (you know the one I am referring to).

Music of choice: I listen to county, unless my daughter is with me. In that case, I just try to follow the words to whatever it is she is listening to.

Favorite place to eat: I would have to say my favorite place to eat would be at home with my family. However, if the choice was out to eat somewhere I would have to say Thai Orchid.

Motto/Inspirational quote: “Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.” Words to live by!
