ABOUT THE GUESTS:
Shaela-Ashley Pierre spent much of her childhood in Haiti before later moving to Miami, Florida. She went on to attend Savannah State University, where she graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Visual and Performing Arts with a concentration in Theatre. Her time at Savannah State deepened her love for storytelling and performance, laying the foundation for her journey as both an actress and a content creator.
During quarantine, Shaela discovered a new way to express herself—content creation. What began as a personal outlet and a hobby soon grew into a thriving platform that allowed her to share her creativity and connect with her fan base worldwide. Alongside her work as a content creator, she has acted in several short films, directed productions during her time at Savannah State, and performed in multiple stage plays. She is also Georgia Film Academy certified, has served in leadership roles on campus, and completed an internship with Savannah Children’s Theatre where she contributed to set design and youth mentorship.
Looking ahead, Shaela-Ashley “Shae” hopes to merge her theatrical training, film experience, and creative voice within Disney. After completing her program, her goal is to join the Disney Live Entertainment team as a director or production assistant, where she can help bring productions together and create unforgettable experiences for audiences around the world.
