Hi, I'm Shayna.
I was raised on the outskirts of Jupiter, FL by two concert caterers hailing from Brooklyn and the Bronx. After discovering my passion for performing in the theater at an early age, I discovered E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial on my parents’ television. I thought, “Oh my god. We can do that?!”
Suddenly, my internal monologue was in script format.
Film and TV were great friends to me during a rather isolating and tumultuous adolescence. After everything, I knew one thing to be true- film was where I needed to be. My favorite movies and TV shows inspired me to think that there was something beyond the bounds that I knew. I now strive to be a part of that hope for others.
After captioning phone calls for a few years in Orlando, Florida, I finally saved up enough to move to Atlanta in 2021. I'm proud to say that I am consistently training, and working on my craft every single day. I'm grateful to be here, and I can’t wait to see what the future has in store.
Thank you for listening to my story.
I would love to help you tell yours.
All the best,
Shayna Benardo
