After college, Shawna entered the world of television news and marketing in Louisville, KY.  Although she enjoyed the field she studied, she realized it was not her passion. Shawna became certified through Jazzercise, Inc. as a fitness instructor and owned a franchise in Louisville.  She instructed group fitness classes to help clients meet the goals they had always dreamed about.  Shawna worked to bring Clark Memorial Hospital on board  to co-host and co-produce “Jazz Cardio Strength Stretch,” which aired in the Louisville market for nearly a decade.  This provided thousands of viewers the ability to achieve weight loss goals by exercising at home. Proving her dedication to fitness and health, Shawna was hired by the corporate office at Jazzercise, Inc. in Carlsbad, California as a Quality Coordinator.  She coached  franchisees to provide their best skill set to clients throughout the Louisville and Southern Indiana region, and worked to bring consistency to the Jazzercise brand. Shawna is a certified personal trainer through the National Council for Certified Personal Trainers. 

In 2016 Shawna opened Breckinridge County Fitness--bringing 17 years of experience to motivate individuals and families to understand the importance of  exercise and healthy nutrition. 

In her free time she enjoys biking, training for marathons, road tripping and spending time with her two sons Hawk and Rome.
