Shane O’Neill White is a lifelong resident of Finger Lakes specializing in public health. She has contributed to Organizational Harmony projects as a freelancer since 2021. She completed her Master of Public Health in Public Health Practice at the University at Albany School of Public Health in 2014, following completion of a Bachelor of Science in Public Health with a second major in Chinese Studies from SUNY Albany.

Shane is well-versed in the challenges rural communities face, from the standpoint of the citizens and the organizations serving them. She enjoys projects which tackle barriers to health care and education in high-poverty areas, and projects with unique collaborations between groups with similar goals. Several projects she has contributed to for Organizational Harmony have addressed transportation-related barriers for patients and students, and interventions to overcome the digital divide for low-income and rural populations.

Shane has five years of local government experience with progressive responsibility in a rural health department, where she worked from 2015 to 2020 in quality assurance and then management in the role of Deputy Director. Her health department experience included facilitating community health improvement planning, quality improvement projects, in-house policy development, and accreditation. She left the office to pursue remote-based work in 2020. Outside of her work for Organizational Harmony, Shane enjoys a variety of writing projects from resume writing to independent journalism on missing and unidentified persons. In her spare time, she has begun studying Spanish with a goal of achieving proficiency by 2024.
