Shauna Bright
My name is Shauna Bright, I am a mother of 5. I helped raise my 3 step children since they were 7, 9, and 12 years old, my oldest is now 30! My 2 younger kids are 10 and 13 and have been homeschooled since 2019. They helped encourage my love for teaching! My husband and I have a small business and have done tons of work in the Santa Clarita area making custom built in cabinets and furniture for 18 years now. It is just my husband and I running the business and doing everything from start to finish. I have learned how to measure, design, plan, build, and install every project. I'm looking forward to passing on my trade to hopefully help inspire our youth and develop a skill they can use for the rest of their lives.
