Shauna Sexton

Playboy Playmate of The Month for May 2018

Shauna Sexton Bio

Shauna Sexton is an American veterinary technician, glamour and fashion model. She was born on January 20, 1996, in Virginia Beach, Virginia, and has also been credited as Shawna Sexton. Playboy named her its May 2018 Playmate at 22. Her appearance came during Playboy's contemporary era of international and digital publishing.

Sexton has natural breasts, brown eyes and brown hair. Her measurements are 34-26-36.

Shauna Sexton entered veterinary medicine at 16, years before modeling became a serious possibility. Working with animals quickly developed into a demanding full-time profession, and after assisting with her first surgery she discovered that emergency clinical work suited her temperament. By the time she was living in Los Angeles, she was working as a veterinary technician in an emergency clinic and spoke enthusiastically about surgery and the pace of the job.

That career remained her priority even as opportunities in front of the camera increased. Shauna Sexton resisted describing herself primarily as a model, calling modeling her “plan B” and saying she would be happy if it developed further. She also expressed respect for people who treated modeling as a profession and put sustained effort into building their careers.

Her ability to handle pressure was something Sexton associated directly with veterinary work. Emergency medicine required fast decisions and comfort with unpredictable situations, while surgical procedures became the part of the field she particularly enjoyed. Rather than presenting modeling as an escape from that work, she described the two as separate pursuits that could coexist while she continued developing professionally.

Fitness filled much of the time left between the clinic and shoots. Sexton regularly started her days at 5 a.m. to train, an interest rooted partly in her upbringing: her father had been a CrossFit coach, and exercise had been part of family life. Her own routine incorporated Olympic-lifting movements, although she said she modified exercises to suit her needs.

The discipline of early workouts did not translate into a particularly restrictive attitude toward food. Sexton joked that she could visit In-N-Out without feeling guilty and described herself as eating “like a linebacker.” More seriously, she framed her plans around personal development rather than a fixed destination, saying that continuing to grow as a person mattered more than predicting exactly where either modeling or veterinary work would take her.
