Shawnee Neal is an aspiring writer and editor from Melbourne, Australia. She was born in Queensland but moved frequently as a child, ultimately living in 4 states with her family by the time she was 9 years old. This experience inspired a love of travelling and a curiosity for life, and pre-COVID, she solo travelled to 9 countries, and wrote about her experiences in a blog that she hopes to be fully developed by 2022. Currently, she is studying Professional Writing and Editing at Swinburne University of Technology and working as an intern for Offspring Magazine and Wellspring Magazine.
