With her family living throughout Queensland, she spends her time creating fun-loving memories and adventures alongside her husband, two children and Fluffy the blue healer.
In her downtime, you can find Shahn enjoying cheese and wine nights, board games and a good old boogie and laughs with her friends on the dance floor, however, nothing beats a recharge at the end of a busy week with a child-free movie and snack time for some well-deserved peace and quiet.
