PERSONAL

Since 2011 Shana has been proud to call Baltimore home. She lives in historic Bolton Hill neighborhood with her husband, Brian, and her two children - son and daughter. On weekends when she is not taking the kids to music lessons or soccer practice, Shana can be found either running with a friend or on her Peloton bike. A fan of healthy cooking, she's been experimenting with recipes in her new Instapot and trying to stay away from her junk food pleasure, Old Bay flavored Cheese Curls. Shana frequently volunteers and is proud to be part of BFA and helping Baltimore and Baltimore Families thrive.
