Stephanie was born and raised in California and studied English and Journalism at UC Berkeley, with an eye toward US political history and rhetoric, global decolonization, and the oppressive power of surveillance. 

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

Currently seeking new professional opportunities, Stephanie is a skilled writer, educator, people and project manager, with an ethos and skill sets that support a track towards executive leadership. As a leader, she is an active listener who sees and supports the talent around her, enabling the growth of individuals and teams so that all thrive together. Also a compelling educator and speaker, she has a style that draws others in and includes them in a grounded re-imagining of what the world 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, teaching English as a Second Language to adult learners (L5), and volunteer work at the San Quinton Prison correspondence college learning center. 

On her own time, 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.
