This vibrant woman is blending her journalism passion with a knack for engaging the community through her platform, Webbchatts, where she delights her followers with weekly news updates and stories about what’s happening around town.
From Memphis to the Scenic East
Shayna Webb originally hails from the Memphis area and is the oldest of five sisters. Growing up in a bustling household, with her youngest sister being twelve years her junior, has molded Shayna into a warm and friendly individual with a heart for connection. In 2018, she transitioned to East Tennessee to attend Lee University on a lacrosse scholarship, majoring in digital media journalism and public relations. This move turned out to be a positive one as she quickly fell in love with the picturesque mountains and the accessibility to major hubs like Atlanta and Knoxville.
Finding Her Voice in Media
During her sophomore year, Shayna joined the Media Services team at Lee University, where she found her rhythm as the producer of the school’s weekly news segment, “Lee Update.” This experience sparked the idea for her own venture, encouraging her to create Webbchatts, where she shares engaging content about Chattanooga’s local happenings and special events.
Career Transitions and Freelance Freedom
After graduation, Shayna sought out a steady job so she could balance work and her new marriage, spending two and a half years working for a non-profit organization in Chattanooga.
