Professional Experience
I write general interest stories for a number of platforms and have a voice that keeps a reader’s attention. I’m a non-niche journalist and have covered everything from major sporting events to national conventions and have written pieces on topics as diverse as gun control to how to cook a whole a fish to sports nutrition for young athletes and much more. I have over 20-years’ experience writing lengthy features, short stories, web content, SEO responsive content, blog posts, press releases, company newsletters and more. In addition to my writing, I also work as an editor for a number of organizations. For more about me, or to get a better idea of my writing style, visit my portfolio ShaunaNosler.com and my blog, SeafoodIsTheNewBlack.com, where I write exclusively about seafood, sustainable fishing practices and the health of our oceans.

Transforming America's Food Culture
(Edible Indy 3/9/2017)
Farming isn’t what it used to be. Of course, not many things are—especially when you compare today’s America to that of Colonial days. Technology and a surging population have changed the way we live; commerce, across all sectors—agriculture included—has flourished and changed in unpredictable ways. But how can something so basic as the food we eat change? That's what I tried to find out in this feature article with a former USDA chairman and others.
