Shawna Lent

Shawna was born and raised in the suburbs of Chicago, but prefers the Yankees over the Cubs and White Sox. She played softball until she was 20, and her favorite player growing up was Alex Rodriguez (who, 15 years later, is still her favorite). She studied Journalism and Marketing at Columbia College Chicago, and is currently a research assistant for a trade magazine in Chicago. The only sport she hates to watch is basketball.  You can email her at [email protected] or find her on Twitter: @shawnalent
