Hello, everyone. My name is Shauna McHenry.  My husband and I have lived here in Amsterdam for 4 years, and we are soaking up every minute of it! We have two grown daughters who live in NYC, so you will find us there whenever possible. I am originally from the USA, living in Oklahoma, Texas, Colorado and Illinois.  My family has also called the fabulous countries of Australia and England home. In fact, we have lived abroad since 2010.

By profession, I am a speech and language pathologist with a M.S. in Communication Sciences and Disorders from Baylor University, and there is no question that I love to talk! For the most part, I have worked in the school setting, especially loving my time in international schools. I also enjoy traveling, meandering new places, trying to grow plants (not always successfully), discovering new cafes and getting lost in a good book. Seriously…I could talk about books for hours!

Throughout the years, I have enjoyed international women’s groups as a welcoming spot to meet new people and get comfortable in a new location. I look forward to stepping outside of my comfort zone and seeing how I can contribute to this year’s IWC board.
