As a child, Shana became fascinated with television news and current events, and knew that she wanted to be a broadcast journalist from a very young age. Though she was a superb athlete in high school; excelling in field hockey, lacrosse, and cheerleading, Shana never lost sight of her original goal.

Back in the United States she entered, and won, the Miss Hawaiian Tropics Pageant.

Shana still wanted to be a television broadcaster, however, and she began to take television jobs where she could be a commentator instead of an actress. She landed the job as a commentator for the Travel Channel's World Poker Tour in 2003. Shana Hiatt and her husband James Van Patten live in the San Fernando Valley in California, with their two dogs, Googoo and Tyler, and their cat Gemini. --- by Bones McCoy at 1800-sports.com on July 19, 2007
