​

Shauna's versatility extends beyond the pageant stage to the silver screen, where she excels in script consulting, producing, casting, and acting through her production company, Rude Awakening Pictures. Notably, she co-wrote, and executive produced the sci-fi limited series Sparks Fly, where she also stars as "Sirena."  She also appeared in the Hallmark Channel’s A Nashville Christmas Carol as the role of “DJ” and has years of on camera experience appearing in commercials and hosting live events.  Shauna is a former on-air correspondent for KBN11’s Inside the Box and guest host for the Degrees & Chuck T’s show (iTunes, I Heart Radio).

​

Having an expertise in numbers and scripts, Shauna holds a Bachelor of Arts in Accounting from Kennesaw State University and an Interdisciplinary Certificate in Music & Entertainment Business from the highly acclaimed Joel A. Katz Music & Entertainment Business Program. She pursued dual screenwriting classes under NAACP-nominated producer/director Rhonda Baraka, who inspired her to delve deeper into writing. As a result, Shauna's writing talents were recognized at the Atlanta Comedy Film Festival, where she earned the Best Georgia Screenplay award.  Currently an MBA candidate at Louisiana State University - Shreveport, she anticipates receiving her Six Sigma Black Belt training in the Summer of 2024. 

 

This blend of business acumen and creative expertise underscores her ability to navigate the entertainment industry with a strategic mindset.  She believes in paying it forward by developing other actors and models and creating opportunities for them.  She is not only an artist, but also a businesswoman with a keen eye for the evolving landscape of media and entertainment.
