Shanna Zhu

Shanna is a Technical Recruiter within Riviera's Contingency search division.

Shanna graduated from UC Berkeley, where she received her Bachelor's degree in Sociology; one of her favorite upper division classes was "Sociology of Technology", taught by a professor who had been a software engineer in Silicon Valley in the early 2000's. She became intrigued with the societal implications of new technology, how it was becoming more and more deeply embedded in the fabric of people's lives, and its effect on society, the economy, and our brains.

When she isn't learning about the latest gadgets or innovations, she enjoys photography, fashion, writing, playing soundtracks from her favorite films on the piano, painting, and most importantly of all, dreaming. She is passionate about conquering fear, talking to people and hearing about their work, reading about all kinds of topics, thinking about the future, and making great things happen.
