Shawna graduated from Sherwood High School in Sherwood, Maryland. She went on to graduate from Texas A&M University with both her undergraduate and graduate degrees. She began practicing veterinary medicine in 2003 with a majority of her time spent at CityVet Uptown in Dallas.

Shawna experienced absolute delight in her enthusiasm as a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. She enjoyed all types of life, from cats and dogs to exotic animals such as snakes and reptiles.
