An entrepreneur, Talent Agent / partner in Teresa May Agency, and bookkeeper, Shawna Whitney‘s largest role in life has been to support those around her helping to grow and shape the businesses and managers around her for success.
As executive producer of her first film The Perfect Pickup, she dove into a new world in 2015 that has taken hold of her heart. She has learned a tremendous amount in the past 5 years on filmmaking and the backend to the industry. Creating lasting memories and friendships. Film and supporting good storytelling have become a large fascination of Shawna's that has led to the desire to help an industry grow within her own community.
She sees such amazing talent all around the Okanagan and wants to help foster and to assist clients in reaching new levels of their careers while learning about the industry herself as she dives deeper into the industry.
Outside of her regular job, Shawna is a black belt in Taekwondo where she feels she has gained a lot of her ethics in life and business. Shawna received her black belt in 2006 with Northern Spirit Taekwondo out of her hometown Slave Lake, AB where she trained, coached and assisted running their family operated club with her father and uncle. The greatest take away from her time teaching and training in Taekwondo - aside from the physical benefit to it and the relationships gained, lessons learned were the 5 tenets taught and today still practiced in life; Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance and Self Control and indomitable spirit
Wherever Shawna lives she believes greatly in being involved in her community. She has been a charity organizer, fundraiser and minor soccer coach. Shawna’s same work ethics and philosophy with Teresa will help elevate the agency to the next level as she joined Teresa May Agency as a partner. Together they share in the same vision of helping talents grow and develop.
