Stephanie was born and raised in California and studied English and Journalism at UC Berkeley, with a focus on modern empirical history and rhetoric in the West, decolonization, and surveillance.

Stephanie is currently based in Northern California, where she teaches knitting workshops, fine-tunes her gluten-free baking skills, and self-studies California’s history of land and water use. 

A deep love of people and planet has informed self-study in the areas of sustainability, degrowth, and land-back efforts, and informed actions directed at protecting our relationships with the land and each other. She hopes to find aligned professional work that supports the vision she holds for our collective well-being.

Stephanie is a skilled writer, educator, people and project manager, with an ethos and skill sets that support cross-organizational growth. She is an active listener who sees and supports the talent around her, enabling the mutually beneficial growth of individuals and teams so that all thrive together. A natural problem-solver and systems thinker, she finds the gaps that need filling and works as well collaboratively as she does independently. Also a compelling educator, she has a style that draws others in and includes them in a grounded re-imagining of what is and can be.

Past work highlights include project and sales management in green waste recycling, relationship management at the Financial Times, communications director for a non-profit focused on women entrepreneurs, teaching English as a Second Language to adult learners (L5), and volunteer work at the San Quinton Prison correspondence college learning center.

Stephanie enjoys reading, knitting, baking, film photography, and time with trees and bodies of water, as well as quality time with family, friends, and community. She’s also recently started cultivating a native plant garden at her rental home.
