Shannon Auster-Weiss

Shannon is currently pursuing her MSc in Medical Anthropology at Oxford University. In learning more about how we think about health, bodies, and sexuality, she hopes to help women & other communities reach their potential by focusing on equitable health care.

Before starting graduate school, she built and scaled Nanny Lane, a product dedicated to making quality childcare accessible. She joined as a marketer in pre-revenue stages and took on roles in Product, Design, Operations, Data Analysis, Strategy, and Leadership until becoming the General Manager.
