Experience
Shannon Harms has been an associate editor for MarketBeat since 2024.
Shannon polishes MarketBeat's stock market content, stays up to date with financial news, and works with and manages writers. She also handles marketing responsibilities, helping spread the word about MarketBeat's services. Her role combines editorial expertise with market knowledge to ensure content meets MarketBeat’s high editorial standards.
Originally from Chester, South Dakota, Shannon earned her Bachelor of Arts in English Education and a minor in History from South Dakota State University. She taught English for seven years before joining MarketBeat. Her classroom experience guiding students through challenging material translates perfectly to working with writers and editing content.
What Shannon loves most about working at MarketBeat is applying her English language expertise in a new context. She also thrives in MarketBeat's data-driven environment, where tracking content performance drives continuous improvement.
Her love of literature extends beyond work—Shannon's favorite book is And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie. She collects unique music boxes and Hummel figurines—hobbies that suggest she may have been born a few decades too late. When she's not working, she likes camping, shopping for antiques, and spending time with her husband and their pets—two cats, Phoebe and Trixie, and two dogs, Buckley and Benny.
