Shantell is mom to three kiddos—a teenage daughter and two energetic boys ages 11 and 9. They call Youngsville, Louisiana, home sweet home. With a background in Business Administration and Behavioral Science from ULL, Shantell wears many hats. By day, she's working part-time at a local nonprofit, while by night, she is a freelance writer. In her free time, she loves dancing and drumming. Her most renowned skill is the art of being fashionably late—whether it’s showing up with gifts or getting the kids to school. Aside from time management, motherhood has been Shantell's greatest challenge as well as her greatest joy. It's where she's learned the most about herself. Each day brings a new lesson in love, patience, and the occasional dance-off.
