About Me

Shana Figueroa is a traditionally and self-published author and filmmaker. Though she’s been writing as a second career since 2010, she’s only recently begun seriously making films after dabbling in the medium as a hobby for many years. After retiring from the US Air Force as a lieutenant colonel in 2021, she began graduate film school at Emerson College in Boston.

She currently lives in Massachusetts with her husband, two young daughters, and a perky pug. Besides writing and filmmaking, she also practices martial arts as a 4th degree blackbelt in Taekwondo, plays the guitar and violin (…both badly, but getting better!), and reads lots of science magazines. Her dream is to write, direct, and produce films while her husband pays the bills.
