Shana Bernabela is a writer, educator and fierce fashionista. She taught Kindergarten and 6th grade science in Bookcover_ShanaB (1)Dallas, Texas, always humbled that she had the opportunity to impact lives in such a profound way. Although Texas will forever have a place in her heart, Miss Bernabela now lives in New York City where she is currently an elementary school teacher. She is also a recent graduate of Columbia University’s Teachers College where she obtained her Master’s in the Literacy Specialist Program. Always knowing that writing would be her path to empower children around the world, one day her creative energies collided and the fabulous children’s book Sparkalina Brights magically burst onto the scene. When Shana is not working on her latest children’s book, you can find her reading, eating blueberries, video chatting with her 2-year-old niece, or feeding her passion for fashion by frequenting thrift stores on the weekends.
