I’m Shanna, a social psychologist and PhD researcher studying women’s hormones across the peri-menopause transition. My work combines rigorous field research with lived experience: I interview women, collect longitudinal data, and test practical interventions that help people manage symptoms and stay connected to work, family and community. HerSeason exists to change that.
