Biography

Shannon Brown (he/him/his) Health Education Specialist at the UC San Diego Health Moores Cancer Center and has been part of the UC San Diego community for four years.

He joined the Staff Association to become more involved across campus and help promote a holistic approach to wellness that supports the mind, body, and spirit. Shannon believes wellness extends beyond physical health to include mental and emotional well-being, social connection, balance, and creating an environment where employees feel supported and empowered to thrive.

One of Shannon's favorite places on campus is Scripps Pier, where he enjoys the calming atmosphere of the ocean he values the opportunity the ocean provides to reset and recharge outdoors. Outside of work, Shannon enjoys traveling, attending concerts and music festivals, exploring museums and cultural events, participating in community activities, and spending quality time with family and friends. He is passionate about experiences that foster meaningful connections and support overall well-being.

Shannon warmly advises staff to:

“Take time to prioritize your well-being and build connections across campus. Whether it's stepping outside for a few moments, attending a campus event, or getting involved with the Staff Association, investing in yourself and your community helps create a more balanced, supportive, and fulfilling workplace.”
