Originally from Portland, Oregon, Stephenie has been a New Yorker for over 20 years. The bright lights of Broadway were her original calling, and she managed and produced very successful shows on and off Broadway. 

Stephenie has been long rooted uptown, having lived in Washington Heights, Inwood and now in the Bronx with her two young children. Her commitment to the arts and community-led her to serve on the Board of UP Theater Company.  You can also find her singing in the choir at Fort Washington Collegiate Church, filling up the Fort Fridge and other community fridges uptown, attending outdoor yoga in Inwood Hill Park, and exploring the endless trails in the woods of Van Cortlandt Park.
