ALLENTOWN, Pa. – Living her moment, that’s exactly what Shea Filling is doing.
Since childhood, Shea has carried one dream with her: to work on television. That vision began taking shape in 2023, when the Allentown native represented her hometown in the Miss Pennsylvania pageant.
“One of the most powerful moments for me was competing,” Shea recalls. “I set a goal to get in the best shape of my life just representing where I was born, in Allentown.”
That experience sparked something bigger. The Parkland High School graduate found her confidence and her voice through modeling and fashion, opening doors into the world of journalism.
“Going to these New York Fashion Week events, interviewing designers, other models, business owners” Shea says.
From New York to Miami, Shea has chased stories and experiences that push her forward. In Miami, she took her passion to the next level, sharing interviews and behind-the-scenes moments with her growing audience on social media.
“I’m always looking out for what’s the next big thing,” she says. “Everywhere I go, I’m meeting people, where’s everybody at?”
Lately, Shea’s focus has shifted to one of the fastest-growing sports in the country, Bare Knuckle Fighting.
“I want to be the face of Bare Knuckle Fighting, so I hope you see this, David Feldman,” she says with a grin, referencing the sport’s president. “I started with fashion, but the sports adrenaline, you can’t beat it.”
Now, Shea’s next big moment is just around the corner.
“November 5th and 6th at the Kasia Center in Miami,” she says excitedly. “This event is bringing together world leaders and business executives even the President of the United States, Tony Robbins, Patrick Bet-David. All these powerful people in one room. I’m just honored to be there and do interviews with them.”
