Stephanie fell in love with Jesuit education while at Gonzaga University where she received her Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree in Public Relations and Communications and then when continued onto Seattle University for her Master of Education (M.Ed.) in Student Development Administration. It is a goal of hers to visit all 27 U.S. Jesuit colleges and universities and has even been known if in the vicinity of a Jesuit institution while on vacation, to take a small detour to visit campus.
Stephanie loves to watch college basketball (her alma mater may have had a small influence on this love), cross-stitching, traveling, watching Shark Tank and true crime shows, and drinking iced coffee no matter what the weather is outside.
