While COVID-19 has impacted daily routines, Administration and Planning HR Generalist Shannon Rice says she’s found a silver lining during the pandemic.
Rice spends countless nights with little sleep, attending to Anthony, her teething 9-month-old son.

While getting workouts has been challenging, she has found much-needed time for physical fitness during the COVID-19 break.
“He’s sleeping all night, so I can wake up at 4:30 a.m. or 5 a.m. to go out and run,” Rice said.
