Greetings Y’all! I am Shannon Christian Swann, born and raised in Roanoke, VA – The Star City! Like my colleague, I am introverted by nature, extroverted by craft and an empath by design. My career started in the human services field since the year 1995 and I developed my skills to working community based licensed mental health services provider to adults in the Roanoke Valley. Working in the community directly for the past 10 years prepared me for the challenges of this position and poised me to interface with the hospital facilities and staff as they diligently perform their duties and ensure that we remain the Number #1 state in getting Virginia Dads added to the birth certificate.
There is nothing more important to me than family. I raised my three adult children on my own, so I understand the life created by absentee fathers. In turn, acting as the Outreach Coordinator for Western Virginia is a full circle purpose in my life to assist Virginian families in accessing every right afforded to newborns.
Laphillda has been on the job for 3 years and 6 months.
She loves children and getting to see newborn bundles of joy.
Her favorite part about this job is networking and strategizing with people who are also passionate about helping families and children!

Hi I'm Jessica, I moved to the NOVA
area in October from Denver Colorado.
Although I am still getting to know the area,
I am excited to be a part of the community
by spreading awareness about the Virginia
Paternity Establishment Program! When I
have free time, you will likely find me out
walking my dogs or relaxing at home with
my boyfriend and the rest of our pets. We
have a bit of a zoo consisting of 2 dogs, a
cat, a gecko, and 2 dart frogs!
