Upon discovering his love for acting in high school, Shawn-Caulin pursued a BFA in Acting from the prestigious performing arts conservatory, The Hartt School (UHA). After classically training in England and graduating with top honors from Hartt, he moved to NYC where he began his career in film and television. A self-professed "student of life" he has continued to explore his love of the human condition by studying acting with greats such as John Markland, Anthony Meindl, Margie Haber, and the legendary Larry Moss.

Since then, Shawn has gone on to work on numerous film, television, and theater productions around the world.
