Shantea was introduced by a friend to the world of fitness and fitness competitions in June 2012. By October 2012 after changing how she ate and exercising, she began competing in late 2012. Since beginning her competition journey, Shantea has consistently placed in the top five in each event she has competed in.

She is also Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Health Educator through NCHEC, IIN Certified Health Coach and Board Certified AADP Holistic Health Practitioner.
