BIO

“Shaun is a consummate collaborator. She is easy to work with in every capacity. Writers and directors value her insight when exploring new and evolving material...She shouldn’t simply be participating in other people’s projects, but should be helming her own as an actor, writer, director, and producer. Shaun inspires those around her to do their very best work.”
