A little bit about Shannon Daidone

Shannon Daidone

Administrative Assistant

Shannon is a Chicago native who recently completed her Masters degree in Clinical Professional Counseling and is preparing to sit for the National Counselors Exam to obtain her license in the state of Illinois.  As a child, it was obvious she would end up in a helping field.  She would frequently bring home stray or injured animals, (despite her parent’s protests) determined to nurse them back to health until they could be set free or placed in good homes.  In Grammar school, Shannon even volunteered her time during recess to help out in the special education classrooms. Besides working as an administrative assistant with SilverFern, Shannon works as an Applied Behavioral Analyst Therapist, working specifically with children who have Autism. She loves to explore the city in her spare time feeling there is always something to discover and a new adventure to dive into.

A little bit about Josh

Josh attended high school in Northbrook, IL, where he always had an interest in sports. He enjoyed playing football, volleyball, wrestling, and particularly rugby. After his high school years, he decided to pursue a different career path than most other students and joined the Air Force, where he served for 4 years. 

What do people not know about you?

“I have a twin sister, I know how to speak sign language, and I am a certified massage therapist."

Why SilverFern?

“I held a few jobs since I left the Air Force and as much as I enjoyed working in those positions, I felt like I needed something that would allow me to grow more. So I looked for a position that wouldn't be just another job for me, but rather a career."

What is your Favorite Part of the Business?

“I've always enjoyed working with people and helping those individuals with anything they needed to either learn or grown with, so I honestly just love that I can advance in my career while also helping others grow as well."

What character traits do you admire?

“I've spent some time in the Air Force, as I've already mentioned, so it's easy to say that I admire integrity, honesty, and loyalty. I appreciate seeing those qualities in people, because that shows how a person is at their very core."
