After college, she worked in a few different offices including the development department at Pittsburgh Public Theater, but decided to put her career on hold when she had her twin daughters. However, her desire to write remained so she was very excited to join GreeneScene Community Magazine.

Stephanie loves reading, writing, photography, and watching her kids play sports. She also enjoys movies, theatre, camping, and traveling. She loves writing for the Greene-Scene because she gets to meet so many great people from Greene County. In the future, she hopes to expand her writing career while still writing for GreeneScene and travel more.
