Our Story

Our founder, Shannon Perkins, has been writing since she was a little girl. In her younger years, she found great joy in the written word — writing short stories, sharing secrets in her diary, and crafting heartfelt notes to family and friends.

Fast forward to her high school years, she wrote for her school newspaper and fell in love with the art of language in AP English classes with an amazing teacher, Mr. James Tavares.

Shannon obtained a Bachelor of Arts in English with a concentration in Writing and Mass Communications and a minor in Marketing from Assumption University.

After graduating, she was a technical writing intern for CVS Caremark. She then accepted a job at MEDITECH, where she spent 14 years in communications — internal, external, and everything in between.

While at MEDITECH, she also obtained a Masters in Communications with a minor in Public Relations from Southern New Hampshire University.

Now, as a mom of two young children, Shannon decided to branch out on her own. Founding Grace Thomas Communications — a nod to her children’s middle names — allows her to continue doing what she loves, while offering her the flexibility every mother deserves.

When she’s not sitting at her computer, Shannon enjoys spending time with her family and friends, being active, organizing, and going to the beach. A native of the Southcoast of Massachusetts, summer is her favorite season.
