My name is Shaina McDonald; I come from a talented family when it comes to performing arts. I was exposed to all of the different avenues of entertainment as a young child, so I’ve grown up with an interested in Entertainment. I’ve tried a lot of everything. From when I was in preschool doing little skits, to doing Grade school Plays, during my busy school schedule I fit in taking dance lessons, and then ventured to sing when I was in elementary school singing with my church choir and singing with the school chorus. About the time I was finishing high school heading off to College I started training to be a model and with doing so I improved my acting techniques. I am a hard worker and I am always looking for experience and ways to improve. Though I enjoy every part of entertaining my true interests are in Singing and Acting.

My interest are in the same with my goals I love to entertain people, whether that be by singing for them dancing for them or doing a play or skit for them. It is a great feeling to know people want to watch you perform.
