Shalon Edwards

Several humanitarian trips to Louisiana to rebuild homes devastated by Hurricane Katrina cemented Shalon's affinity for power tools and community building. In 2017, after purchasing a home in Baltimore City and meeting Sarah Marriage at a local conference, Shalon accepted an internship position at A Workshop of Our Own and has since dedicated her time and efforts as a volunteer, instructor and now, board member for the organization. She is a Senior Research Analyst for the Department of Pharmacology at the University of Maryland and specializes in project management. In her spare time she enjoys spending QT with her miniature schnauzer Chloe, starting DIY projects, watching her plants grow, and is always looking for a good company-good food situation.
