Stephanie is a neurodiversity coach by day, and wrangles with words by night. She also puts comics to her stories that look at this magical hodgepodge called life.
Stephanie was born in Germany where her dad was stationed before his two tours in Vietnam. She grew up in PA where she fell in love with the outdoors. Her adolescence was spent in NJ where she sang Bruce Springsteen songs with the rest of the state.
Stephanie went to undergrad in CA, grad school in NYC, lived for a year in Turkey, and raised her kids in VA where she and her husband still live. She’s traveled and seen a fair bit of the world, and while there are so many incredible places out there, Wegmans grocery store is her favorite place on earth. She’s not trying to be funny. It's true.
Maybe it's a little funny.
From the show:
“…So my system of writing is that I have a Microsoft Word folder of drafts. And if I get an idea, I'll just start a draft. So it's there. It's ready to go. And I write a little. I come back in. And they might be there for months, right?..”
“…One is a humor pub and one is personal essay pub. And they're very different. But I think, you know, for both, it has to come and be and come. The piece has to come and be full circle. It has to come full circle. So the humor piece has to deliver on its premise. And of course, there's techniques along the way, calling back and everything. Definitely punch up, everybody. Don't punch down. Or you are going to be rejected…”
