Hello, my name is Shannon Geese and I am the Center Operations Specialist at the USO Fort Wainwright. I am a military spouse and mother of two children who also serve in the military.
My father retired from Active Duty over 34 years ago and our family made interior Alaska home now for over 40 years. I enjoy fishing and riding ATVs with my husband in the summer months, and in the winter months, I relish time spent indoors playing boardgames with our children and granddaughter.
My role at the USO is the greatest joy and privilege for this military kid, wife and mother. The mission of the USO is dear to my heart and I believe that authentic hospitality is the key to creating an environment that feels like home, acts like home and encourages others to “make themselves at home”.
