Shannon Rose Peterson had a dream to study abroad. Now her hard work in high school and college has made her a success in the arts, with her own podcast and a popular band in Liverpool.
As a high school student, unlike many of her peers who joined a wide variety of groups and clubs, Peterson knew she wanted to study abroad from a very young age. At 15 she was shocked at the high price tag of an American college education, and decided she would do what it took to be able to further her education – to be able to study in Liverpool.
Peterson, originally from Glenville, graduated from Scotia-Glenville High School in 2018. She says that as a high school student she was not very involved in many groups or clubs, but was more focused on the academic side of things.
Four years later, Peterson has her own podcast titled “The Red Shutter Club” and is a member of the band Drive 5. She says she still tells her band all the time that if she is doing something weird, she wants them to let her know because she might not realize it.
