She earned a bachelor’s degree in natural sciences with plans for a career in conservation—until she was diagnosed with stage II breast cancer at age 23, followed by stage IV at 25. Now, she focuses on balancing treatment while raising awareness about breast cancer, especially in women under 40. Shayna enjoys gardening, fitness, and desserts.
