Shana’s work is informed by a rich blend of personal and professional experiences. With roots in the West and Midwest and in both rural and urban cultures, she has insight into the impact of cultural nuance and lived experience. Years as a Teacher Librarian in public schools have deepened her understanding of how identity, background, and opportunity can intersect with diversities such as socioeconomic/geographic, ethnic/racial, gender/sexual, neurodiverse/typical. As a bilingual French and English speaker, Shana values the role language plays in identity and self-expression and brings this lens to helping clients grow their own empowering life narrative.
