Lynly is the heart and soul of the company—though she’d never say it herself. She’s the kind of leader who makes everyone feel like family, always full of kindness, warmth, and an unwavering belief in the people around her.

A beautiful blend of contrasts, Lynly is rooted in southern values but full of surprises. She’s equal parts class and sass—just as happy dressed up for a night out as she is kicking up her heels on the dance floor. She’s rarely seen without a smile on her face and has a natural gift for seeing the best in people and every situation. Highly creative in all aspects of life, she’s always dreaming up new ideas, adding a thoughtful touch, or finding a way to make something just a little more beautiful. She loves deeply and shows it through thoughtful gifts, incredible meals, and the kind of genuine hospitality that makes everyone feel at home. Just don’t throw a ball at her—she cannot catch to save her life. But if you show up with chocolate-covered strawberries, you’ll have her heart forever.

Her passion for helping others began early, shaped by growing up with a brother with autism. That experience opened her eyes—and her heart—to the challenges faced by children and adults with developmental disabilities. It became the foundation for her lifelong commitment to making learning meaningful, joyful, and inclusive for every student.

An accomplished speech-language pathologist, author, trainer, and public speaker, Lynly brings unmatched heart and vision to every project. Whether she’s supporting educators or sparking joy in a student, she’s always focused on helping others believe in what they can become.

But if you ask Lynly, she’ll simply say she’s blessed to do what she loves. And that’s just who she is—humble, big-hearted, and always ready for the next adventure.

Shannon is a force of nature—the kind of person who shows up with boundless energy, a big heart, and a toolkit of unexpected talents. She grew up in Alaska (yes, she really had a pet moose), and today channels that same adventurous spirit into everything she does. From training her German Shepherds, performing magic tricks, and juggling for students at her local church to treasure hunting with her metal detector, Shannon brings purpose and play to every corner of her life. She’s recovered hundreds of lost rings—many returned to their rightful owners—and has even been featured in treasure-hunting magazines.

Fiercely loyal, deeply empathetic, and just the right amount of competitive, Shannon is someone you want in your corner. Her greatest adventure, though, has been raising her son with autism—a journey that’s filled her family with joy and given her a profound understanding of the unique challenges and diverse needs faced by so many. That experience shapes how she connects, supports, and advocates for every customer she meets.

Shannon has been with MindWorks since day one. And while she jokingly threatens to quit if asked to test one more toy, she’s all in. She brings fearless creativity, sharp problem-solving, and contagious enthusiasm to everything she touches. Whether consulting with customers, leading trainings, or rolling up her sleeves behind the scenes, she does it with a can-do attitude and unwavering heart.

Shannon always says there’s no place like MindWorks—and it shows. Her belief in the people, the mission, and the work runs deep. She’s not just part of the team—she’s part of its foundation.
