Shona began highland dancing at the age of 7 in Scotland, under the direction of Doreen Bowie.  She has also enjoyed instruction from Irene Baird and Linda Tellier.  Shona began competitions at the age of 10 and has since competed in Canada, USA and Scotland.  Some non-competitive dancing highlights have included various dance-out opportunities, including being the opening act for the Alexander Brothers.


Shona is currently teaching students in Western Manitoba, primarily Brandon, Virden and Shilo.


Outside of highland dance, Shona is pursuing a Bachelor of Business Administration at Brandon University.
