Born and raised in Missouri, Shinae was always ready for something bigger. She received her undergraduate degree at the Savannah College of Art & Design in Fashion Design, and quickly decided to move to New York City to find a career in Fashion. While working full time in the industry a friend introduced her to the idea of acting. She was intrigued and it wasn’t long before she graduated from the two-year Meisner training program at the William Esper Studio in New York. She realized her true love was in acting and performing. She now resides in Los Angeles to pursue her dreams.
Truly a renaissance woman, Shinae also has been trained in 13 years of classical piano, dance, and loves to sing recreationally.
