==Early life and education==
Finnessey was born to Patrick and Linda Finnessey, and she grew up in Florissant, Missouri. She attended McCluer North High School public high school for two years where, according to an interview with ''ABILITY Magazine'', she was teased a lot for her appearance. Finnessey recounted that she "had a mullet, tinted glasses, acne and braces." The teasing made it difficult for her to focus on her studies, so for her junior year she transferred to the private all-girls Incarnate Word Academy, where she graduated in 1996. She completed a Bachelor of Science degree in psychology from Lindenwood University in December 1999.〔http://www.abilitymagazine.com/Shandi_Finnessey.html〕〔http://www.flovalleynews.com/shandi-finnessey-is-a-contestant-on-abcs-dancing-with-the-stars〕 Following graduation, she worked briefly as a full-time substitute teacher in Jackson, Missouri before starting graduate school.〔http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=6rsvAAAAIBAJ&sjid=OtwFAAAAIBAJ&pg=3534,8991304&dq=finnessey&hl=en〕 She began working on her Masters in Counseling, also at Lindenwood, but postponed her studies after being crowned Miss USA in 2004.〔http://www.shandi.info/index.php?action=bio〕〔http://www.lindenwood.edu/news/2004/254.html〕
