Shona Carter
Business Manager
Hey! I’m Shona, I’m from Issaquah WA, and I’m a senior with a double major in Theatre Performance and Creative Nonfiction Writing. I got involved in STP because I love student leadership and the possibilities STP opens up for us as young creatives to work with one another. When not immersed in the world of theatre, I love spending time outside, baking, playing cards, reading, watching tv+movies, and traveling. This summer I went on a 7000 mile road-trip with my best friend all around the western half of america! It was awesome. Looking forward to working with y’all as your Business Coordinator this year, and please feel free to use me as a resource. I am happy to answer any questions you may have about STP or the theatre program in general. Let’s have a great year! I can be reached by email at carters9@wwu.edu
