Thanks to her father's Naval career, Stephanie began traveling at a young age and started acting in a Special Services Community Theatre in Atsugi, Japan. The fact that he was a Commander in the Navy would influence many of her jobs, including winning a role on the primetime soap, Emerald Point NAS and starring in Broadway Tours of The Heidi Chronicles and The Sisters Rosensweig, shows whose origins were linked to Seattle, where the family settled after her father retired. Stephanie still splits her time between on camera work and the theatre and travels for both.
