About Shira

Shira Firestone, MNM

Shira Firestone spends much of her time exploring her new home town

of Charlotte, NC, after moving from Seattle, WA, to be closer to family.

With a Master's Degree in Nonprofit Management and a Certification in Holistic Nutrition, Shira believes in life-long learning, binging on Ted Talks and online courses, “just because.”  She holds season tickets to the symphony but is in her happy place at a bluegrass festival. She sings fairly well and plays the piano pretty poorly. She asks the names of her servers and talks to people in the elevator.

When Shira was a child, her goals were to memorize the entire dictionary and star in a Broadway play. As for the first goal, she abandoned it when she reached the word "abandoned." As for the second, hey, it could still happen! In high school, she diagrammed sentences, just for "fun." (Do they still teach that?) So, when her (now grown) kids came home at the beginning of the school year with a welcome letter from the principal, she sent it back the next day covered with red marks and edits. It may not have made the school year easy on the kids, but it did point Shira to a career path.

Her guilty secrets are that she watches Hallmark in December (and cancels her subscription in January) and that she has seen Donny and Marie, live.

Currently, she edits and writes for nonprofits, small businesses, and individuals.
