Experience

Shanna has been a professional writer for nearly a decade, first writing job was writing about writing for a writers' job board. Her early writing work was in the fitness, pet, and work-from-home niches, but her versatility (and ADHD) quickly led her to branch out into writing web copy, e-books, and high-performing DTC emails too. She's currently freelancing, which gives her the freedom to build her schedule around writing about things she loves and doing things she enjoys, like staying fit while still managing to chow down on delicious food.

Education

Shanna's educational experience includes gaining a diploma in photography, a Basic Life Support (BAA/EMTB) qualification, and hundreds of short, non-accredited courses on various subjects.
