Sheila Busteed is a freelance writer, teacher, journalist, photographer and designer who possesses a deep connection to music.

Sheila is an avid traveller, and the creation of Sunsets in Oia took her back to the island of Santorini for a writing retreat in May 2012.

After a decade in Canada’s capital, Sheila moved abroad to begin a new career as an English teacher. She has worked in South Korea, Morocco, Spain, China, and New Zealand. In 2017, Sheila earned her Master in TEFL from the Universidad de Alcalá in Spain. Currently, she is conducting doctoral research in the field of Education at the University of Waikato.

Sheila spends much of her spare time writing and travelling. In September 2014, she returned to Santorini for a third visit. During her stay, she did research for her second novel and continued to explore the beautiful island.
