Autorenporträt
Shana Keller grew up a middle child in Middle America wondering exactly how clouds stayed in the air. She's traveled all over the country and some parts of Europe with her family and moved too many times to count. She's settled in Pittsburgh for now, a city built just for kids and one that she finds secretly inspiring. One of her favorite quotes is from Benjamin Banneker. "Every day is an adventure in learning." That said, she graduated from the University of Miami, Florida, with a degree in Communications, from UCLA's screenwriting program, and took a course in songwriting from Berklee College of Music. Her goal is to never stop learning.
