After studying Psychology and Screenwriting at the University of Southern California, Bettina worked with and mentored under director Michael Gracey (“The Greatest Showman"), helping develop and produce works for commercials, film, theater, and animation.

A Page Awards Semifinalist, Stowe Story Labs Semifinalist, and two-time Austin Film Festival Second Rounder, Shauna draws inspiration from a life raised by a single, alcoholic archaeologist mother and a bar-owning, gunslinging grandmother — figures who taught her that chaos and humor often share the same barstool.

Her writing carries the layered textures of both worlds, shaped by her Māori husband of 30 years and their three exceptionally talented grown-ass children — two queer, two women, all Indigenous, and one disabled.
