As the CGC’s Administrative and Facilities Manager, Stephanie ensures the organization operates smoothly, safely and functionally. This includes overseeing day-to-day operations, managing the central record-keeping system and coordinating essential services like event rentals and facility maintenance. Beyond her administrative duties, Stephanie facilitates the CGC’s Lil' Sprouts program and teaches or coordinates several adult education opportunities, including DIY classes and the Nurturing the Mind series in partnership with Episcopal Retirement Services Center for Memory Support and Inclusion.

Stephanie's journey to the CGC began with her lifetime love of nature. She joined the CGC as a volunteer and graduated from the Civic Gardener Development Training (CGDT) before joining the staff in early 2023.

Outside of the CGC, Stephanie is a passionate advocate for pollinators and composting and runs a thriving community garden. In her free time, she enjoys exploring the outdoors in search of fossils, insects, rocks and mushrooms. She feels lucky to be able to work for an organization that aligns so closely with her personal interests and values.
